    It’s definitely worth it if you intend to use it. Those who do it thinking they’ll get all their money back when they sell it are in for a disappointment. That looks wicked BTW! 🤘🏻

    No upgrades are a waste of time or money if they make your riding experience better and/or you happier. I just finished the 2024 upgrades to the Goldwing and I'm very glad for what I did 😎
    You're going to love the new suspension, its going to elevate everything about the bike... and good call on the paint match 👍.

    another good video Ty. I won't say a waste of money being if it's something you like or want then is it a waste of money whether its for looks or actual functionality. I know for my bike finding ways to customize it is a bit harder because not many options out there for trikes really still.. They are starting to get more options but still nowhere near as much as what you can find for 2s. Bike looking good.

    Even the title to your video answers the question you are asking. Waste of time and money? Not if it is an “upgrade”. Any upgrade is worth it as long as that upgrade is part of the owner’s vision and accomplishes what they hoped it would accomplish. Most of my upgrades help me with comfort on long trips or safety like lights so I am more visible at night. I do have a little extra power too. That’s all worth it to me.
