Flashy appearance?

But won't that take away from your sequined jean jacket with the velvet
fringe and rabbit fur collar?

Your comfort level is merely a snapshot in time. I suspect there are
many more new motorcycle ownership adventures in your future. All of
them designed to keep the adrenaline up and the bank account balance
down. But what the hell, we only go around once.

Chill , dude , I was just yankin' your chain . Sean you're the only one
that can decide your priorities . I started 11 years ago on a Sportster ,
and was happy as a Murff . IT WAS NOT STOCK as far as bars , seat , etc .
The windshield made longer trips much more pleasant ... I'm on the Ultra now
, a place I never ever saw myself going . And it's way comfy , and it's got
tunes , and I'm STILL happy as a Murff .
All that said , you can customize/modify any bike to fit your needs . This
bike isn't stock either ... Mustang seat , custom rear suspension , sound
system mods , other stuff . Makin' it more mine , with every change ...
One thing I DON"T do is make changes that can't be reversed . Every bike
I've owned could be restored to stock by replacing the modified parts ...
usually with the original ones I took off !
