I think the mod bug has passed

Does this happen to you? Have you looked at your bike and said "it's done," and decided not to mod further? Is this a passing phase? I suppose when I get home I should take a few pics and post them, but I think I have finished "fixing" my not broken 2000 M900ie.

for most people...the mod bug is closely associated with the free range ability of casual expenditure from their wallet

you definitely get the point where anything you can do would be so expensive and the returns so mild that you just call it done.
then something comes along that you thought was unattainable and damn it, that gets put on. then another, then another...
then you look at the bike one day and decide to go a totally different direction, so the old mods get torn off and sold and you start again from scratch.
sigh.

Mine is only done because I have to pay rent. I am at the point though of either doing my suspension or selling the bike to get an S4RS.

There are documented periods of remission from the mod bug. This has been well established in the literature.
But don't worry, you're not cured. There is no cure and the symptoms will soon return.

Only when I reach in my pocket and find no money.
And there is still a list of worn out or broken shit on it.

I'm not interested in belt covers or clip ons, so I think I'm set.
