So I was young once....learned (owned) a Suzuki Bandit 400. Then traded that in on a used (laid down) Honda CBR600F3 that I customized.
Then I got married, had a kid coming and sold it all........now 16yrs later I got divorced, got custody of the kids, Ex didn't get a dime , retired from the Military and I wanted another bike. I always liked a custom chopper look but couldn't afford the price tag. Thought my days of crotch rockets and doing over 100 were probably over as well. Saw the Fury while I was just looking online and within 3weeks found a nice 2013 with low miles. Went out to see it, liked it, had a coworker (bike enthusiast) help me look it over and bought it.
Now I was a decent rider back in the day but I had not really rode in quite some time so I am rusty. I must say learning the rake of the Fury was interesting on turns and my feet still feel awkward going forward instead of back but the bike rides nice. also I had always worn a full helmet so switching to just the dome version (think sons of anarchy style) is taking a little to get used to on the eyes and windpipe.
This one had some customization done already.
-cobra pipes
-new chrome air filter (forget the brand)
-chrome radiator cover
-clear lenses for turn signals and red lights in the rear
-mustang seats
-had the sissy bar with chrome luggage holder. I removed the bar though and put the seat back there. the bar wasn't my style
-custom foot pedals
-some kind of electronic fuel injection mod (again don't recall the name). I still need to read the instruction manual on that to see what its doing
I got it just before winter and have finally got about 200miles on it and feel pretty comfortable.
I still have a few things I want to do
-side mount license plate
-chrome wheels
-new taillight
-maybe some custom airbrushing
And since it didn't happen without pictures....
