How much have you spent on accessories?

[rmrc51]

As usual I am adding/changing more things this winter. I am afraid to add up all I have invested in it.

I purposely did "NOT" keep track of all of the accessories I've added. That would've definitely resulted in Shell Shock! :cxtv:

Ha ha!!! I am sure we all could have a really nice decked out Pickup Truck for what we have $$$ into our Trikes. Crazy!!!

Between 37.5K and 40K easily, but she's done!

When I p/u my new trike, I already had over $1000.00 of H-D's accessories added on. A week later another $800.00. Two weeks later, another $300.00. It never ends.

When you purchase any type of Harley you have only bought a starter kit.

My wife once said to me, "When I go out to the garage and look at your bike, it looks like it's all there. Where do you put all that stuff you buy?"

I put $8,000 on before I picked it up from the dealer, and still going. Way too much for what it's worth. I have over $43,000 in it plus all the expense of fixing everything lately because the dealership techs didn't know what they were doing and the jugs from the factory are not a true bore. Hopefully I can get it to quit using oil.

My wife says the same thing, then when we are out with friends and she see's a piece of chrome we don't have, she says; "oh that looks nice". Go figure. She is as much into the accessories as I am she just does not like to admit it.

1) HD also stands for High Dollar or Hundred Dollar. 2) the cycle is the cheap part, the expense is making it NOt look like any other. A fellow HOG chapter member has Kuryakin on speed dial and their page bookmarked. Snce I have the onlyV-Rod I've ever seen in person I haven't done much. LED's on the bottom of the fenders in front for turn signals and on the back for break lights. I have also replaced the seat and am working on 2-1 exchange for the exhaust.

Doesn't much seem to matter what brand of bike you ride or how old the trike is, you're going to spend a couple of grand on upgrades and farkles within the first year you own it.

My very first trike wasn't fancy and I only paid about $7K for it. However, I plowed another $1K into it over the next year or so.

My next trike was a big step up, about $24K and a really nice touring machine. Holy crow batman! I plowed about $4K into this beauty within 6 months. :xzqxz:

Moral of the story? Better set aside another 15% of your purchase price, because you will be making incremental changes to the trike, no matter what the little lady has to say about it. Get used to sleeping in the corner of the garage until she cools down.
