I bought my bob from Thunder Mountain Harley. It's the furthest dealer from my house and it's one of the only dealers I go to for everything. I'm sure there will be mixed opinions but I love TMH. I've never heard of any issue with their customs either. They use nearly all OEM Harley parts on their customs. I love their bobber, not a big pro street fan either but try googling or searching out complaints too.

I think they are nice (dont do it) looking bikes. Seem a bit (dont do it) expensive tho. I think you should (dont do it) do what seems right for you. The Harley bagger platform that you have is (dont do it) such a great bike tho. I say if the Thunder mountain bike turns your crank (dont do it) then you should go ahead.

I've liked the look of every bike they came out with.....even the baggers are bad ***!

We just recently got a local Harley Dealership that also sells the Thunder Mountain Bikes. I was over their drooling the other day.

I guess you gotta do the math by figuring out what you would do to a stock Harley to customize it vs what you'll be getting from Thunder Mountain.

Good luck with your decision! I wish I had those tough dilemmas to loose sleep over!
