[QUOTE="69ST, post: 110428, member: 5"] IDK, Adam, I think we're rapidly veering off-topic. And, aside from the copied & pasted post discussing a totally different bike, it's riddled with errors & omissions. Not going to tackle them here, I already posted another novella. Suffice it to say...rely on that post at your own risk. [CENTER]:focus:[/CENTER] I had a numbered list, at the end of my previous post and it was similar to yours. The top two items were the same. I deleted it because that reply was already too long. IMO, we should probably limit the discussion to the top 2, or 3, priorities on everyone's list, since ez posed the question "what's been your favorite mod?" "Favorite" is a subjective term, which is a great base for an interesting & varied discussion thread. It's one of those qualitative terms I mention from time-to-time. That said, for those wanting to delve into the quantitative side I strongly suggest adding the parameters of time & mileage. Annualized cost and cost per mile are key considerations that are all-too-often overlooked, a big mistake...especially for someone who is going to be in this for more than 2-3 years and wants to actually ride. For most who would like a decent restomod/light custom, the difference between chasing a [I]where's-waldo-everyday-low-price[/I], ultimately regretting that decision, and not only coming out bucks-up, but getting to enjoy a setup that works well, is likely to be the equivalent of skipping one trip, per week, to Starbucks. It all boils down to priorities, which brings this full-circle...i.e. back to the simple & direct original question. [/QUOTE]
