Default West Coast Style Heritage ?

My 21 Ultra is done except for tearing out the garbage Boom Audio here in a few weeks and just looking ahead and planning for a stable mate. I have always had "a love or a think" for the West Coast Cholo Vicla Heritage style bikes. Great in town bar hoppers and the 2014 103 Heritage is a pretty good year. So if you're running a West Coast Cholo... postem up. I am just planning ahead.. it'll be a minute but I am all about planning. Hell, it took me a year plus a boat I am currently rebuilding but persistence pays off in spades.

Peace out.

don't know much, but I "think" it started as a west coast Chicano thing
Apes, fishtails, lowered, tall front wheel and mucho bling are some common characteristics.

Not really. But I think it is yet another way to spend a **** ton of money on paint and chrome, turning a Harley in to some aberration of a motorcycle that takes away the resale value, and resulting in that no one will use it for it's original intended purpose due to it's limited functionality. However, that saying, "your bike, your way..." still applies.

Just because we can, doesn't mean that we should....

Well, the owner of the bike is using it for exactly its purpose. To enjoy and do what he wants with it.

I know what the vicla style is. There have many threads about it per the link I provided.

The vicla style isn't for my taste either but I am not going to trash it or those that like it. You. obviously don't like it so don't do it to your bike. Your bike your money...their bike their money.

It's no different than putting a 26" or 30" wheel on the front of the bike. It's not for me but it isn't my bike.. The vicla style is somewhat popular on the west coast.

Oh just wait. We'll start seeing the "Mayans" copycats. Just like the SOA style took off.

Maybe this is the next fad that is going to replace baggers...which replaced choppers, which replaced cafe racer style bikes, which replaced choppers, which replaced bobbers, etc...
