I like the handgrips. Interesting touring pegs up front... pretty high up.

I thought I had seen that before. (I had it, in my cool bikes folder) I think it might be someone from here, but I don't know who. [image]  [/image] ~Brent

That is very nice! I'm trying to figure out what the chrome things are in the knee knock outs on the tank.

Very nice bike. Lots of personal touches. Sounds awesome. But how is it custom?
The paint is a factory accessory. An expensive one, to be sure. And the imagery in the knee pocket is more than likely a decal. Still, a sweetass bike.

You can buy tins like that from the factory? Huh... then I suppose it isn't a custom. Must admit I had a hard time deciding where to post this.

S'okay. Some would say it all adds up to a custom bike. It all depends on where we draw the line. If we don't draw it at bolt-ons then anything can be posted in this forum and the title becomes meaningless. Maybe we should have a forum just for Member rides, regardless of modifications. Pictures only, one thread per member.

I have had this conversation many times about the difference between "customise" and "personalize"
This one in my opinion is personalised

Not my cup of tea at all. But like I always say, "it's not my bike." I prolly think my bike is the coolest on this site but others may hate it. My buddy has an 883 that I love. Everyone thinks I'm nuts about this bike. Its for sale but I just don't have the money, but I would buy it in a New york minute if I did. I think the one thing everyone can agree on is that seat is ridiculous.
pain is temporary, pride is forever.

Straight out of south park. Now had he white walls it might be more palatable. Nice looking ride though, but not anymore than most member rides here on this site. Custom? in a pigs eye.

I like the seat too. Not exactly my cup of tea either but it has some nice touches.

To each his own. Thing looks like a garbage barge to me, but I'm just not that into all that shiny stuff. Just my 2 cents.
