You have the impression black is for poor people fine thats your opinion that you stated on an open forum, then how about this one all of your over the counter bolt on's aren't custom. I'll admit it my bike has bolt on stuff and some of them I even had to pay someone to install because Im not mechanically inclined in the least. But Im damn sure not trying to brag about bolt on **** or think my bikes the best because of it.
You started pissing on others with your ignorance so just be prepared to deal with responses to YOUR statement.

There it is there Rockyriver. Someone beat me to it.

I modifed the right things to completely change the look of the bike with a minimum of purchased parts. Taking pride in how much money you have in a bike is foolish to me. It's what the final result is, not how much it costs. To me the less you spend getting a bike to a "custom" state is what makes it cool, not tossing a ton of money into an otherwise stock looking bike.

That's my $0.02. This wasn't about your bike, it was about you discrediting others. With that I wish you luck at the show. I can't offer any display advice but it's my opinion that the bike should be the main focus, not the display.

You call the guy out and then you wish him Good Luck? PU$$y.

Entertaining thread though....there hasn't been a thread like this in a while.

Your an animal story808......tell him how you really feel eh'.....lol

Hey Rocky looks like you got yourself into a nice keyboard brawl....lol..nice..

On your display i say shorten up the chains. Then loose all the smaller mirrors (looks like over kill) and maybe just get a couple of longer ones. One on each side maybe tilted a little to get your chrome reflected into them. Don't you have lights also? Turn them on. And get yourself a nice "history board"..remember less is more in some cases. You don't want your display to out shine your bike.
