When Does a Harley stop being a real Harley?
I know many of us have made lots of changes to our bikes. Bolt on parts, engine upgrades, replacing things here and there.
So as the Title says, with all these changes especially when using non-Harley parts when does it stop being a real Harley?
Does the fact that the word Harley appears somewhere on the bike keep it true?
Jut something to ponder?

As long as the VIN says it's a Harley, it's a Harley. hehe The great thing about these bikes is you can make it your own by customizing it any way you want. Just like those that talk about 'real' bikers, it doesn't matter what you do to the bike, just enjoy it because it's still a Harley.

In any event, I realize Harley's were born to be customized but doesn't relocating this, removing that and adding some non-harley part kind of taint the pedigree a bit?
Just sayin...
