Seems like all I see is stock baggers. I think here in Houston it is more about status than anything.

Up in North Dakota, black is in for sure. Lots of blacked out bikes last summer. So far none of the big wheeled baggers around here though. I went the opposite way, and am in the process of adding as much shiny stuff as possible to my new bike.

Here in Michigan I would say street glides/tourers are the most popular by far and it is also not unusual to see a softail or two. I think the least popular are the Dynas.

We got everything out here in the Black Hills it seems, to include even trikes..
A lot of metrics too it seems.
Don't know if there is one thing over another type of trend.
I don't pay close enough attention I guess.

I hacked pieces of my swingarm to make a new wheel fit. Can I come hang out with the cool kids in Florida?

Thanks for all the responces, its cool to hear about other region and the differnt takes on the bikes out there, I am semi guilty of the bolt on deva scenerio. My Springer is a mismach of bolt on and slightly moded parts. In my defence (I do say I have a custom bike/bikes) my 76 Shovel and 72 triumph bobber have no store baught parts, hence why they are still on the lift table and garage floor. Bolt on parts are out there for a reason. Cheers

10 yrs ago it seemed to be mostly CR's

Now most of the Kids have grown up and now seldom see CR's, just a lot of Harley's.

45% Baggers, RK's and Ultra's
45% Softails,, Heritage's and Lux's

10% all other HD's/

I'm Mass you see all kinds of bikes, but the greater amount fall to the baggers. Haven't seen a lot of blacked out bikes. Chrome is king in my book, but to each their own.

Street Glides are all rage here as well. Everybody wants one.
