Basically the Custom has a bit of chrome on it.
I just picked up my 05' FXDCI last month and I'm very happy with it!
Looks great and handles like a Harley should,
Enjoy bro!

what billy said...the custom is sporting a little more chrome.

Depending on what year we're talking about the location of the speedometer is different. One has it on the tank, the other has it on the handlebars.
