Harley for me was more about they way they look, and feel while riding
How much did it cost to get your exhaust, air cleaner and oil filler cap re-located to the left side?

unless U make a sick amount of money, U'll spend a lot more than a paycheck on Ur ride...
More like the days I was paying child support. Maybe thats why all the parts people at the two nearest dealers calls me by my first name...

Best advice is research and don't impulse buy. do Ur home work and try to make the big buys once, thats when it really cost$$$.
Some get their pipes and cams, then next yr don't like them and end up getting something else.
So take Ur time, look and ask....

I won't put anything on my bike that I don't think looks good. I won't put anything that looks good on my bike if it robs me of performance. If I did I would have dropped a quick 3 bills already and got some black short shots and got rid of the slips. Look awesome, no performance. I need that happy medium, saving for a good looking 2 into 1.

Hey man, I ain't no poser - I'm a poseur.

Just 3 criteria for me:

Bikes gotta look good.
Bikes gotta feel good.
Bikes gotta sound good.

Check rocker photos D.Wiggs probably outspent everyone here but something reasonable can be achieved for a modest(relative term) outlay.
