Somebody Stop Me! Bling Fever!

Ok, I said I wasn't going to spend any money on bling this year.
Then, I install the Chrome Wolo horn I bought the end of the season. Then I cut down the windsheld I bought from Trip and installed it then I re-did all the lighting, Bulbs mainly, to be more visible and there I also took an idea from Trip and made my forward mini xenon spots yellow. Now I bought and installed the Show Chrome radiator grille and NOW I'M LOOKING AT THE KURI-ISO GRIPS! Someone has got to talk me down from it!

Just face it, your an addict and there is no cure. And there are many worse addictions out there, so try not to worry about it. ;)

Just remember that about the time you get it JUST the way you want it, you'll be buying a new bike....

1. 3/8 chrome door edge molding for fender and trunk trim.
2. Nomad fender emblems.
3. Engine Guard Chap from Airlite.
4. Edmonds Lowers.
5. Kuryakyn Longhorn Dually ISO pegs.
6. PhatRisers II from Scootworks.
7. Brakeaway throttle lock.
8. Saddlebag Liners from TLC.
9. Mustang seat w/backrest.
10. Saddlebag top rails.
11. Saddlebag side rails.
12. Kuryakyn Run-Turn-Brake kit.
13. Deep dish amber bezels for front turn signals.
14. Auxilliary driving lights from CWI.

Nobody helped me get off this stuff so you should suffer through this sickness just like me. haha. There's no way to stop once you start. But we're not hurting the economy, though. Jamie

IMHO now that I have had the kuryaken Iso Grips I will never own a bike without them, so don't consider those bling, consider them as a necessary medical accouterments to preserve your safety and well being by preventing your hand from falling asleep which would in turn prevent you from being able to safely grab the brake....

If the wife calls bullsh*t on that then try buying her jewelery and then asking
