I don't know why some have to buy a bike and then try to make it look like another bike.!!
I know some in here care more about next weeks bike show than really ridding it.
But I could care less about a bike show VS being able to ride all day without being in pain when I take her out and ride...
Not meaning to be negative, but I've ridden and owned a lot of bikes in my life and I've spent a lot of $$$$ on them.
At my age I just want a good looking bike that will start up and make it home after a long ride or vacation trip without any trouble and any major issues...
Example... PEG's Bike,,,, its a great looking beautiful bike,, but it has caused Her soooooo freaking much trouble, she just posted her next bike will be left STOCK,,, cause she's had WAY,,WAY too much trouble, she can't even leave town without worrying bout makeing it home.. Been there,, done that...
Just saying the Ergo of the Stock Heritage seat and bars are PERFECT for me for a long day of riding (6-8 hrs) the bike.
Just saying if U ride down to the bar or to U dealer for a show then get what-ever..
If U bought U bike to ride then make sure the Ergo's of what ever mods U do are in the right direction so U can ride over 1-2 hrs before she kills Ur back .....
Reckon I am saying.... ARE U a rider or just one who only cares about the next show or bar I take her tooo...???

And I don't know why people think Beach Bars are just a fashion statement. Mine are for their functionality and getting my arms down and my hands back, which allows me to ride ALL day long without to much suffering from the C6 radiculopathy injury and other cervical issues I have going on. If I had the stock bars on I could hardly ride the 20 miles to work without total numbness in my right arm.
Thanks, I appreciate the kinds words!

But there sure are a lot of stock looking bikes, but more power to'em. As long as your riding who cares?

Dean, its the same grouchy old retired dude routine as usual...you and anybody else here doesn't have to justify **** to anyone else. Some people see a case of beer and jump on it thinking its a soap box...
As for the bars anyone who hasn't ridden beach bars will never know how comfortable they are. Its a huge improvement over stock and it gets the arms and elbows down for a very natural position (guys with neck/shoulder pinch take note). Guys always have plenty to say until I tell them to sit on the bike and that pretty much puts an end to the **** talk. Its plenty comfortable for an all day ride and then some.

Well, I have to give oct1949 some credit. I have never heard in all the time I have been on this forum, someone bag on NC D'LUXE's bike. Not once, not ever. At least oct1949 is original!!! NCs' bike has got to be one of the most beautiful motorcycles on the planet and is actually one of the bikes that got me to jump the Dyna ship and buy a Softail. The very idea of a stock, or close to stock motorcycle is virtually incomprehensible to me. But hey, to each his own. As socal mentioned, if we all wanted boring bikes, this would be a pretty boring forum.
