"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You haven't installed a turbo or nitros kit yet have you? Just trying to help. Grin

In all seriousness I have reached that point on a few of my bikes, mostly my Jap sbks. I still look at some of my bikes and wonder what's next. Hard to justify much when I'm still job hunting. Tongue When I go on a day long ride and if "she who must be obeyed" isn't in a real cheery mood I get to hear how I "wasted the day" riding when I could have spent it job hunting. bang head So no mods for me anytime soon on anything. My favorite mod at the moment is putting gas in the tank and watching the numbers on the odometer roll over.

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

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

A nice looking bike!

I suppose you could always take off the side covers? Doing so opens up the rear, and only take a couple of mins.  Grin

Full disclosure:
Removing the side covers sometimes necessitates:
- hours of fun trying to re-hide the electrical components the covers hide.
- can sometimes results in people dis-assembling the entire bike so they can grind back the tabs, and repaint the frame
- extensive re-modifications as owners re-mod their bike to match the new frame color.

That front fender looks pretty big, might be time to chop it...

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.

I thought i was cured after adding as many red touches to my M695, then I caught the SSS bug and poof I got another bike.

I laughed pretty hard at the reflector mod suggestion. Well played!  waytogo

The chicken strips will have to wait for spring and tracktime. You can only lean it so far commuting to work, even on the backroads.
