Any motorcycle I've owned, I've had to make "my own". That is, I've tweaked out to look a little different than when I bought it. Whether it was fixing little things that the PO didn't feel was important enough for them to address, to chrome peices.
On my 1200, I've added chrome disc and rotor covers, changed the rear deflectors to lights, added pin striping, chrome rail along the edge of the luggage box, and a few other small changes. Not enough to make it look ridiculous, but enough to please my eye and set it apart from any other wing.
I've always done this, and I guess I always will, it's an obsession to make it mine by making it different.
I have gotten many compliments from other people, riders and non-riders, but I get a little teasing about it from family. Am I the only one who is not satisfied with a fully functional machine.
