I'm not much of a farkler either. One has to look really hard at my bike to see it's not bone stock.
The rlets and gaiters I put on because that's how a CB Honda should look IMO. I changed grips for gel grips, but they look stock. I changed to black aluminum valve stem caps because I hate rubber ones, but they also look stock. I hid a battery tender pigtail discreetly by the rear shock. That's it. No pipe, no rack, no engine guards, no shield, no extra chrome (although I will get the chrome instrument cups when/ if they ever become available for the 14 DLX)
I post a fair amount
but I am a rider. I've ridden in every month of the year for years and that's saying something in the midwest (wasn't easy this year but I did it). I rode 2 days in January, 1 day in February, 8 days in March, 17 days in April, 23 days in May and I've ridden every day this month except one, June 12 th, the day after I got back from riding to California and back in 11 days. (spent that day unpacking and washing clothes and putting gear away). When I wake up in the morning, I'm pretty sure I'm riding somewhere that day. I've managed to roll up 11,009 miles so far this year, spread over 3 bikes. It's 6 am here, and pretty sure after I watch the MotoGP race from 7-9 a.m. I will be riding somewhere. I retired so that I could ride more, and I promised myself, not to waste a day when I could be riding. The only things that keep me from riding is a snow storm, a thunderstorm, or watching my grandson Riley. Other than that, I'm probably on 2 wheels. I LOVE riding!
