Totally pointless things you've bought for your bike?

Yep... most pointless thing... and I think I win this "contest".

$50k chopper of cool to end up here

Most pointless thing would be the stomp grip.

I guess it worked till it got hot and came right off, but that's really more of a maybe. Because I can apparently ride the bike without it just as good. What a waste of $40.

Exaust wrap from under the engine to the slip on, so I dont keep melting my heel into the pipe when I shift to the left side on long straights.

I once poght a pair of fuzzy dice, and I hung one from each mirror, that was pretty stupid because the fuzzy dice just bumped into the hand controls and created a possibly dangerous scenario

So far...insurance.

jtemple · 09-01-2009, 11:27 AM

If you ask my wife? The bike itself.

I haven't spent much on mods, as the budget doesn't allow it.

A&R Baffle Kit (stock look, slip-on sound, $100)

Sliders (a necessity, IMO)

Throttlemeister (for Sturgis and to lessen bar vibration)

Stomp Grip (mine has been through some HOT weather with no issues - don't know what the problem was with the previous mentioning of Stomp Grip).

Gear. 2-piece leathers, boots, 2 pair of gloves, mesh jacket, helmet.

I got a guard for my front fender. They say it is suppose to help with mud but I got it because I liked how it looked.
