I have made my 48 different from anybody else's.

Simply because people don't want to customized their bikes. It doesn't hurt me at all or upsets me.

If you are lucky to have the time, knowledge, skill to work on your bike then more power to you.

My bike is 90% stock except for the Vance pipes I added with my hard earned money. I don't have sufficient tools at home or time between my two jobs to modify my bike. If I have time I ride it.

and I respect that. thank you for understanding my venting and letting me know why you personally choose not to customize your bike.
