Default Couple Of Nice Softails...thoughts???
Looked at the standard Harley models and Heritage is the front runner so far but after seeing Bradley Jones Custom...
Found a couple of custom bikes that I do like the look of, both 1450cc, custom paint, custom pipes, tank, etc...
Like the idea of having something different...what do you guys think???

Both look nice. How much they cost is the question. They aren't over the top customs and with the market today they should be reasonable. E-Bay has loads of deals if you have the cash.

Problem is, I'm in the UK...so there isn't a huge choice and the price will be expensive compared to US!!!

The 1st one is Ł11,500
The 2nd one is Ł11,000

So you're saying they cost around $18,000 US dollars. Did you check E-Bay in the UK? I wouldn't pay more than $14,000 for them here.

I guess buying one here and having it shipped is to costly, unless you get a great deal.

I'm partial to Fatboys but that rear setup looks awkward. I'd go with the Heritage in this case, you won't be disappointed.

Like the bike in the first pic. Hate the rear fender on the one in the second.
