Keith, your bike is lovely, too. In my personal dictionary custom means, in a nutshell, "squirt paint or cut metal." Bolt-ons are accessories resulting in a personalized bike, unless you made the accessory yourself (say, a bracket) by, you guesseed it, "squirting paint or cutting metal."

I hold my own bike to a higher standard even though I've squirted custom paint and fabbed up some of my own parts. I don't think of it as custom either. But I probably will consider it custom when the next set of tin is done, and THAT might actually, finally see some movement this weekend (crap it's been a long wait). I'm hoping to get the dash shaved and the new filler bung welded this weekend. And maybe that other mod I ain't gonna mention until it's done.
