Default LOOK Good or RUN Fast....Where did Ur money go??

Did U Spend Ur 1st $$K on add-ons or Motor work...

Buying ours new in 07, spent the first $1200 on stg1 first to let her breath and cool her down..

Then the next 3 $$$K's to make her comfortably and look good,,

Then over another $K to make her run faster/better and cooler...

So what did U do first, and where'd the money go,,,,,, BLING,,,,,,,,, FASTER........??????

Majority of what I have spent has gone for comfort and convenience. Lately I've put some into performance but just basic stuff.

Had a phase early in life where looks meant everything. Grew out of that.

Looks count and always will, but they come stock with much more than they used to.
Now "bling" seems more like wasted money.

Rider backrest and chrome fork sliders is about all the non functional stuff I added to this one, and the backrest actually seems pretty functional. LOL

pull the cat pipes and put an aftermarket set on with no cat, much easier
