Customization
I don't want to start a pissing match here... but I want to know what you guys think is the most "customizable" model from the MoCo in the last ten years.
I ride an 07 Street Bob. I feel that it's a great canvas to build off of, and I've just scratched the surface with mine.
I know there are a ton of parts available on the aftermarket for softails, but dyna owners are notorious for fabricating thier own parts, and sportster owners have been known to take thier machines to all kinds of levels of customizaion....
Just curious.
Post your opinions and back them up.
----thought this would be a good subject for discussion...

Now that I think about it, it'll probably be awhile before anyone reply's to this thread. I'm probably one of the few loser that decided to drink instead of ride today(not a big fan of drinking on the scoot). Happy 4th of July Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a tough call for me. All Harleys come pretty much "stripped" down from the factory, and it takes thousands of $$ to get them to where most owners want them to be.....................I'll have to think on this one for a while and get back to ya!
That's all that I have to do this weekend anyway.

the most Customizable harley? i would have to guess at the sportster.
they are cheap enough t ofrig around with lots of differnt years fit. and if you fug it up jus ttear it apart and rebuild for a fraction of the cost of a Big twin but of course i am biased cause i am too poor to own a big twin LOL

Ultra Classic, (or Road Glide) there's just more parts on them.
If your wanting bolt-on aftermarket parts, then Softails.
In my mind, when it comes to "most customizable" it really doesn't matter. If you want a highly customized bike it is probably cheaper to start with an empty garage.
The "most customized" bikes seem to have few if any stock parts and some are pretty much one-offs other than bolts and bearings.
