Default To add mods. or sell that is the question

Deciding if I want to sell my 07 StreetGlide for a 09 later Road Glide CVO. If I keep the StreetGlide thinking about modifications just looking for good vendors. Like some of the Yaffe stuff as well as sinister any other good companies. Some things looking at are stretched tanks and different crash bars. More I look at the picture of mine the more I think I will keep it.

One thing we all have in common is "Personalization" (sp) , you wont be happy with a "Stock" CVO and you can do a lot to yours and have money left over

If you like your bike and have no problems, keep it and do mods.

2007 frame or a 2009 and later frame. No brainer. Test ride one and you'll notice the difference.

Your gonna spend the money on mods regardless so it all depends on how deep your pockets are. A CVO is awesome but it may be more cost effective to mods yours

I've done it both ways, modded out a bike and bought a CVO.
It will cost more to mod out a bike, but if gives you something to do......and a few things you will do over.
Both ways are expensive and never finished.
