I'm not too worried about the modding addiction on this. I've got a V-Rod that I just did a 4 month overhaul on (all work done by myself).
What it looked like in November when I picked it up:
What it looked like on Sunday when I finished it up and made room in the garage for the E55:
Besides...my girlfriend just moved in and now I have all these "other" mods she's nagging me to do. Mod the guest room off the master so it's a closet for her clothes. Mod the formal living room so it's my office. Mod the basement. I mean, seriously...girls just think that because you have money to spend on important things like motorcycles and cars that you have tons of cash sitting around for stuff like that.
Chawkins - do you get your car worked on by Jason over at Buckhead imports? He did some things on my C32.

Finally had a chance to take some better pics.
Paint is in DAMN good shape. And I found out a little history about the previous owner - doctor in Ohio who had leased it. (some of his clinical booklets were in the seat pocket).

The V-Rod looks good. Like what you did to it
