Worth every penny!

I bought my motorcycle for $1000. I bought my exhaust for $800. It's a full system Vance and Hines carbon Fiber exhaust system. It may be the very last full V&H for the CBR600 F3 ever made. They only had 3 left (only CF) when I called and I bought it 4 months after that call. My buddy always says "Look at that damn nice exhaust rolling up" whenever I come over to his place. I also tell people when they ride it that if they crash, to crash on the left side.

I bought fake CF mirrors from Ebay. Squidtastic!!!

Most pointless would be the $400 carbon fiber chin fairing...but I didn't pay for it so.

My shit is still stock...I added the Double Bubble to help me see my Gauges when I ride B/c I'm so tall...so while its more of a Looks mod its functional for me...and I added Sliders...But I'm well aware there not to save plastic there there to Save the FRAME...

You could say my LED Kit was pointless...but Then i'll argue it helps visibility at night.

The only totally pointless thing I think I've bought for my bike was some used, stock, but like-new body work. What a waste of money. I ride her like I stole her, no doubt.

Totally pointless things?

Let's see...the KTM got some aluminum blings like brake & clutch reservoir covers, carbon fiber shits.

The RS125 has more shits on it than I know what to do with.

The SR50 Factory has a racing shock. WTF does a scooter need a racing shock for?

The BMW is so fucking boring that I had zero compunction to jazz it up in any way.

The Tuono has some modest mods, although the 520 chain conversion may be considered as pointless.
