    Thank you guys..

    Make sure to save receipts and insure all the mods you have done. Call your insurance and make sure you tell them to use stated value for your add ons. This way you spend $10k in mods and bike is stolen, they reimburse you for that, otherwise they will depreciate everything. You'll pay a...

    Extended swing arms - would you do it again?

    Extensions are probably fine for the street, just me, but is it worth saving a couple hundred bucks vs an arm. For me its so not worth it. Life is too important. Yes it will work for you but should you. Your call of course!
