regrets about modding? - Page 2

wildchild · 07-21-2010, 01:33 PM

guess it depends on what bike it is. current ride I'm still looking for more stuff to do and I enjoy doing it. when I have inline 4 sportbikes I do very little to them. ride the hell out of them and then sell them after a few years. no regrets either way.

a buell I would be doing some mods on. especially the pipe. it really woke the HD up to put on pipe and intake with tuner.

V-twins always need to be piped. they sound too good not to.

inline 4's I actually like the sound of them stock. just growly enough and nice once you get in the revs

Not at all. The only thing I regret is that it didn't come like this stock. 1000 on parts is a lot to make a bike run like it's supposed to.

Im pretty happy with everything Ive done to my bike. It hasnt been anything too expensive but it all makes my bike more mine and look more like how I want it to. I think Im done though until I eventually get a new one.

No, I wouldn't change a thing. Everything I've done to the strom is functional and well worth the money.

I haven't done many mods to my bike. The previous owner did most of what I would have done (exhaust, flushmounts). All I've really done is a taller windscreen and I had to make a license plate mount and light since the previous owner had cut that off. I'm happy with all of it, especially since I didn't have to pay for the larger ticket items.

I did my mods for myself. If I didn't want them, I wouldn't have done them.

My mods have been mostly small stuff that can be easily undone if I so choose... And they've been fairly cheap so no regrets there.

I put a full Vance and Hines Big shot exhaust kit on my bike, Holley air intakes and a PC-3...then I had M & M Choppers dyno out a custom map. And no, I wouldn't change a thing. It was worth the expense to me to open that huge V-Twin up so it can REALLY breath.

I'm happy with my mods. No regrets.
