I haven't owned a bike in 25 years and I'm having a blast with my new Classic. Having had all off road bikes, you get used to doing your own wrenching. I forgot how much I enjoyed that part of it. I added a Hepco & Becker tail rack this week which my girlfriend likes because she's afraid of sliding off the back.

The one thing I don't care for is that grey anodized aluminum they use. The stock exhaust looks so much like a hand made racing exhaust and the heat shield looks out of place to me so now it's black. Eventually I will get the fenders painted to match the tank.
I'm curious as to how many people do their own work. I've seen some great fabricating and modifications here but also a lot of people seem to have the dealer do it all. Can we get a show of hands?
