Guth, I used to be a farkler but old age has set in on me. Usually, anything I mod anymore has to have a purpose. The only thing I have added to my 750 is mirror extensions that were badly needed and a centerstand. I did change the headlight housing because the lighting was so deplorable imo. But those things all have a purpose at least to me. I am not against mods at all. I am a simpleton and have become somewhat of a minimalist. I dont think you are alone here at all.
Everything I purchase I give quite a bit of thought too these days and try to think down the road some. The tank bag and tail bag I bought I knew would work well on and 1100 in case I bought one of those down the road but still serve my purpose now.
I can tell you that I have fooled with and modded everything from motorcycles to boats to Mustangs and its like lighting a match to multiple hundred dollar bills at a time. I dont regret doing it but I am just kinda past that now. I feel like now I know more about what I really want. But for me, it was a stage I had to go through to find out for sure if that makes any sense.
There is still a little devil in my head that likes hot rodding anything a little bit. I love following Ridems32 ECU thread and some of the other stuff but I really do weigh things much more these days.
