It depends on the bike.. I don't like big, fat seats on Softail Stds, Dueces, Night Trains or Wide Glides. I don't like windshields on them either. .. or crash bars... or floorboards ..or saddlebags. Basically, no touring stuff on bikes with skinny front wheels.
No Live to Ride stuff or Hyperchargers. No neon. I like spokes too.
If Captain America didn't have it on his bike, I don't need it on mine. [8D]
Man how did you know I have all this stuff on my Wide Glide? Well I don't have the Ride to Live stuff or the Hyperchargers; so it must not have been my bike afterall. Mike
Ok, I think the noisy passenger was the best answer.I would like to add the passenger who is constantly moving around back there.and oh yea, how about the one that hits there helmet into yours everytime you shift. Am I off topic? Well,like blondes and brunettes, thin girls and heavy girls,we all have different ideas about what looks good and what don't.So, go for it with the gaudy accessories. Rich W.--O D

I hate radios, with my pipes I would not be able to hear it anyway and when someone rolls up next to you with the radio blasting it sounds terrible, all treble and unnessary. There is too much fringe, solid rims, entire chrome bikes and don't hate them but will never ride one v-rods. colored windshields, stickers of any kind, that wil about do it
