depends on the year '07 was the last year they made the standard, and the difference&nbsp\\;was just cosmetic.

different powdercoating on motor, seat and bars, chrome oil tank, custom had a better paint job. All other specs (for '07 anyway, the last year of U.S. standard production) are the same, including the tire and wheel sizes.
