Default My street bob build. What you think?

I was gonna originally go full black out and black denim paint, but.......Just looks too boring. Seeing the black denim at the dealer kind of turned me off to it. It just looks cheap compared to the great and vibrant reds I've seen on the Street Bobs. Trying to go for something that stands out a bit but still looks cool and not to "fruity". What do you guys think of this custom build from the HD1 bike builder? I'm going for everything in black that I can except for the paint which I chose red flake deluxe. Really like the painted Harley logo. Kinda looks native.

I'm 31 but look younger. I guess I don't think I need to go for the badass look but don't want to come off as a sissy either. LOL. BTW, my cat's name is Bob. That's why I chose a street bob.

Love the paint, but I'm not digging the red wheels with it. You can't go wrong with black or chrome.

It's your bike who cares what anyone else thinks. I think red paint and red wheels looks stupid and would look much better with the black accents mags. Does that change your mind? Quit being an indecisive sissy and pick the bike that you like and stop waffling on a forum.

Both are true and my deployment has been disappointing this far, however, the OP posted a pic of a bike he built online and I was expecting a real bike when I opened the thread. He wants to look cool, but not too tough, and doesn't want to look like a sissy. WTF? He sounds like he's more concerned with what people will think of him based on the appearance of his imaginary bike than what he thinks of the bike; sounded like a troll to me. Then he said that denim black looks cheap, which is his opinion, but the finish looks anything but cheap. Obviously I'm biased on the denim finish.

I like the red and black. My buddy has a ***** red and black.

I personall like the red rims but you gotta go red hubs. I think balck rims and black hubs with stainless spokes would be much better suited though.
