    I think I'm done...

    Well I never thought I'd say it but I really don't think there is another accessory that I'm dying to put on my F6B.

    I've melted the numbers off of 2 Visa cards and if I was married I would probably be divorce over my accessory "impulse" buying. I've even thought of starting a 12 step program for Accessory Addicts. Accessories Anonymous

    But here are my questions... Are you Done? Do you have your bike the way you want it? What Now? Do I get a new project and start over?

    Maybe after I see the other bikes at Franklin I'll be refreshed with new accessory ideas.

    Just getting started DK. Unfortunately I like chrome and this bike doesn't have much. I add a piece or two a month taste fully until the "look" is just right for me.

    I've put about $8,000 in my bike over the year and I will probably never be done. I have a few things to do over the next few months then it gets serious over the winter!

    I'm runnin outta stuff to put on,,,

    I'm not much for ornament's, so that eliminates about 3/4 of the GL accessory's,,,,

    I prefer 'clean' vs clutter, so tacking on a buncha stuff in the drivers area isn't going to happen,,,

    I hear ya on the 'next project' thoughts, but silly to sell if that's the only reason.,,,

    I'm down to adding stuff that's 'in the hundreds' that I really do not have to have,,, I recently added a Honda Passenger backrest that will probably only be used 2-3 times,,, Thinkin about heated grips (and I live in HOUSTON!!!)

    Pipes? Eh, Runnin OEM and have no complaints, so

    Added J + M speakers,,, (Not stellar, but a noticeable improvement)

    Ya know,,, it's REALLY getting bad,,,, Drivin me absolutely bonkers, this 'need to mod / need to experiment',,,

    So FRICKIN bad,,, I almost,,, ALMOST thought about slippin on a CT!

    Done

    During my first three months of ownership I managed to work the Credit Card petty good. I penned the following post which describes my mods.

    http://hondaf6b.com/showthread.php?5...s-Into-The-F6B

    I managed to keep things in perspective by "home brewing" several items, all of which have worked well and added comfort and functionality to my 6.

    Other than the original mods, I just replaced my OEM front tire with a Bidgestone Battlax which makes me a "Double Dark Sider".

    The days of swapping out OEM exhaust systems are gone, along with adding "bling/chrome". The only other mod I may do will be the addition of a "Gel Pad Insert" for my OEM seat. That will be a "Do It Yourself Project" keeping costs to a minimum.

    Just had a gent comment that my 6 looked like a "Work of Art" which reminded me on how well a job Mother Honda did in designing this bike. The clean lines of a OEM 6 are rather hard to improve on. IMHO "comfort items" should be the first priority for the 6.

    When I bought my bike it already had the fog light kit, chrome front fender extension, and a CB dark screen. I've since swapped out the windshield for the clear Honda tall w/vent and I've added the passenger backrest riser and the Rivco flip out pegs. I want to keep the bike as close to stock as possible so I probably won't be adding anything more than that.

    Yeah Ok

    Yeah OK, I probably just had a weak moment.
    I'm going to order the switchback front signal lights and flasher. Will probably slap on a fork brace and then there is the audio upgrade... What was I thinking?
