So, I'm fairly new to motorcycles. I got my first (my current) bike in June '03.

Everything was good, and I couldn't be happier.

Then one day, I decided that stock license plate mounting board was too much.. no worries, bought a bracket for oh, $15 or so (mod #1).

After a while, the kickstand safety thing got to me.. so I got the bypass thingie.. no big deal, about $20 or so if I recall correctly... (mod #2)

A month or so later I got sick of the stock mirrors... so I yanked them and replaced them with the 3rd Eye cycling mirrors.. oh for about $35 a pair.. (mod #3)

All this sprocket talk on DML got me in "Sprocket Envy" mode and last weekend I got a 14Tooth to replace the stock 15 in the front... I think total cost with shipping, tax, etc. was close to $50.. no problem (mod #4).

Does it end there?

I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here for a very long time. (Sorry for the Star Wars quote..). I just slipped my smokin' credit card back into my wallet after ordering a pair of Sil Motor Megaphone low mounts from Motowheels....

Will it end now?

Is there a cure for this sort of behavior?

If this is anything like cars, I'm fooked! I havn't had a car that I haven't tweaked in some way, shape or form!

Oh well, things could be worse.. I could have a crack habit instead.

Low Meg's....Mmmmm, that'll be cool!

Next will be clip-ons, rear-sets, a steering damper, a light weight flywheel etc. etc. etc...

I have those same symptoms. Sounds like some new condition. It must be extremely contagious.

Welcome to the club, the addiction only gets worse, like any other drug, you'll need to keep getting bigger doses. There is no cure (except a wife).

Wait till you have the thing in 1000 pieces.
You will step back and say to yourself
"What the f*ck did I just do!"

When the amount spent in upgrades exceeds the original purchase price of the bike.....you know you got a problem. ;D

Yeah, sure.
Unless your wife is a bigger junkie than you are.

And the CC bils are bigger than you want.

I'm stuck at the tail chop, cause I know once I cross the line and take a hack saw to my bike nothing else will be off limits.

A wife doesn't help either, you just have to hide your habit a little more. (Make sure you get home to pick up the packages before they are ;D)

I quit cigarettes a month ago...

2 packs a day @ 5.50 a pack X 30 days a month...do the math...that is now DucDollars

35 years of smoking out the window so I can keep burning dollars on the Rat Bike

Hi
My name is Dennis. And I am a modaholic. Time to get on the 12 step program. So you got the sprokets. I guess its time for step 5. Tail chop baby.

The "other bike" strategy cured it for me, for awhile at least. But now it's riding season and I'm chompin' at the bit for my clipons.
