When my wife goes shopping and she comes home with bags full of STUFF the first words out of her mouth is 'GUESS HOW MUCH MONEY I SAVED ON ALL THIS STUFF????"

Back in the early days of my marrage, before I got edumacated, I would ask 'how much would you have saved if you only bought what you needed honey?'

Thank goodness I'm smarter than that now!

The list is pretty easy to stick to when buying groceries. It's just about any other type of shopping that has me considering suicide.

+1... my wife does the exact same thing, but lucky for me she really does get some pretty smoking deals on stuff! So all is well.  :)

I have not even owned this bike for two months and here is my farkle list. Roughly in the order that I bought them. 21 items so far.  :o And I wonder why my wife is upset   ???

Givi E55 Monokey trunk
Givi luggage rack
Givi light kit
Givi back rest
License plate bracket
Phil's rack
HID light kit
Buell black rider pegs
Buell black passenger pegs
Targa tank bra
Project D helmet lock
Project D cup holder
Saddlebag retaining brackets
Area P carbon fiber slip-on
Genmar bar risers
TechSpec snake skin knee pads
Cee Bailey's Ultra Tour Windscreen dark tint
Larry's fender extender
Larry's tailbrights
MCE saddlebag guards
Big Bike Outfitters saddlebag liners

Next on list is MCE Canyon Cages. Waiting patiently.......

These bikes are awesome but expensive.  :P
Two items on your list prompt this reply.  The Givi luggage rack and Phil's rack.  I too, had both items and absolutely hated the Givi rack until I saw that the Givi can be mounted directly to Phil's rack with the addition of an attachment kit produced by Phil.  My Givi Monokey trunk is a 46 while yours is a 55 so I don't know if his kit will work with the larger trunk.  Here's a picture with the trunk removed and its appearance beats hell out of the Givi rack.  Consult Phil to determine availability and fit with the larger trunk.

You're a lucky man.  I got about half through my list like this and the wife gave me a come-to-Jesus talk.

The rest of my farkles will have to wait a few months.  ;)

Haha that's one heck of a list there.  At some point you gotta get to riding that thing instead of shopping for it and bolting stuff on  ;)
