She gets on meonce in a whileabout the money I spend on the bike. So I thought I'd make a list of things I've modified/added since I bought it new in June 2007...YIKES:

Tour-pac luggage rack
Saddle bag lid rails
Rider backrest
V&H Propipe
S/E air cleaner
Thundermax autotune ECM
Tour-pac relocation kit
Hogtunes speakers
Chrome speaker trim front and rear
Cup holder
Highway pegs
Chrome switch caps
Chrome front master cylinder cover
IDS
Kuryaken adjustable passenger pegs
Chrome passenger floorboard covers
Chrome lower fork sliders
Chrome upper slider covers
Chrome handlebars
Leather grips
Clear front turn signal lenses
Painted inner fairing and switch cap
Chrome bezel rings on all gauges
Brushed aluminum radio faceplate
Chrome axle spacers
Chrome axle covers
Polished front rotors
Chrome rotor bolts
Windshield pouch
GPS w/MP3 player
Decal on fairing

I don't even want to start adding up prices. Even doing all the labor myself that's a lot of coin! The thing is, I still have quite a bit of stuff in mind!

 

my list much longer but I have a HD fund account. I have little events over to the house like poker night, Fight nights and have my buddies donate.

 

Burn that list

 

Not to worry...she wouldn't know how to find it!

 

Oh Geezze guy. You're missing the opportunity. Show her the list, then tell her ya installed it all yourself so you saved all that labor cost. Now ya got more money for that Andrews 26G cam and a BB kit.

 

The trick is to divide it into 2 lists and let her know which items were for "her". My wife wanted the chrome and gold light visors, and of course the chrome bag rails and luggage rack to to keep her from scuffing up the bags and to to carry her stuff. She needed to the HD adjustable floorboard mounts to make her seating postion more comfortable, which required the chrome pans and chrome/rubber inserts....then mine had to match, so that really goes against her column. The stage-1 stuff is to have power for riding 2 up, so that's also in her column. George Anderson tourpak relocation kit, more comfort for her so naturally on her list. I got a little trim stuff for the gauges and fairing, backrest and shift linkage......jeez, I think my list is a little on the short side...need to get more.
