Motorcycle Extras

I cannot believe how much it costs to add a little something extra to your motorcycle. You would think everything you buy for you motorcycle is gold plated. I have thought about adding a few extras to my bike. The one thing I really thought would be nice for my passengers would be a sissy bar (back rest). It of course can come in a few different options, but either way it is expensive. All in all I'm looking at around a 150.00 bucks for a few pieces of metal and a little padding. Thanks but no thanks. I was talking to the previous owner of my bike and the mirrors he put on the bike cost a 110.00 bucks. I like them, but I don't know if I like them that much to replace them if they ever get broken. My advice to those looking to buy a motorcycle would be to get exactly what you want in the beginning, because if you want to do it later I think it will cost you more.

This would have to be the biggest downfall to my motorcycle. Things for a car are so cheap in comparison. I guess the price is about supply and demand. There are a lot fewer bikes than cars, so I guess the production of extra parts is more. I guess there is little I can do about it, because no matter where I go to look for parts the prices vary very little. Its a good thing I don't need anything, and enough sense not to waste my money on a want more than a need.
