Just went 1075 and ported a junk head I picked up. She started as a 900 the "Fastest Production Motorcycle" at the time then a 1015 now a 1075. Each thing I did made it faster and more stable. It will never be stock again but it's better and it's mine. You might call it a sleeper.
Maybe I should put 900 badges back on it and have fun with the other bikes.
As for value? I stopped counting after $3500 in work in 2015. It's mine, always gets me there and I love it.
Some guys do this to theirs but I can't see it doing the things Bossie does.
