I agree and it did cost and took quite a while waiting for the custom pats to come in from the other side of the world. I had to buy a pipe system, a clutch, cams and pistons, air cleaners and a PCV. I had to have it all tuned and put together with all the little things like gaskets and head bolts and a new GPS. I do not know the final accurate numbers and I'm not even going to look it up. I don't care the money is spent and gone, over and out. But after being asked to the question I am not afraid to guess at the costs. I'd say $6500 sounds pretty close.
That does not include the suspension front and rear. That was probably between 2.5 and 3.0 grand. I have nearly doubled the cost of this bike.
Is it worth it F-in A.
Oh she (Sandy) did ask about the costs of this last part and I did tell her the truth. I then proceeded to discuss with her that since i make all the money i will have all the say. I also stipulated that she is not my financial equal and does not have equal weight deciding on the the budget. I also said that she could voice her opinions but that might be at a cost and she should consider her words carefully. She did not take it well at first but I held my ground and it was over.
It did not help that were were going down to pick up another $700 pair of cowboy boots.
PS Hey guys it ain't like this lady lacks for anything. I just spent 5K to put a big bore 118 kit on her new Indian Chieftain Elite.
