She's gorgeous btw. Hope you're selling for a good reason... like too many bikes or starting something new. Not 'cause you "have" to.

I gotta ask... and I apologize if this is rude... but how do you feel about all these (me included) white boys copping the lowrider/vicla style? I always wondered if there was a reaction to it.

(Considering "La Sucia" and your location as "Califas"... I'm assuming you're a Hispanic dude... if not... I apologize for that too!)
Don't care really, you can always tell la razas bikes when they are next to a gringos here. You guys think a Vicla is just long and low but it's not just about what parts go on it. It's about the little details that most the time pictures can't show that took time and trial and error.

Cool... thanks.

And I agree... I wouldn't call most of the "Viclas" on the forum Viclas... including mine.

Big thing for me is the personal touches (dare I say 'love and care') that goes into the paint.

CountryD, I love the look of your bike! I bought my first Fatty about two years ago, but shortly after I ended up in the ER for brain surgery... Not trying to get sympathy here, all I'm saying is i didn't get to ride much last summer. But, I plan to change that this summer... BTW, surgery was not connected to riding, and everything to do with an old boxing injury. As for your bike, the first time I saw your style of bike, I got hooked! Didn't know they were called Viclas or anything else for the matter. All I know is I love the style... I haven't seen another one like it here in GA.

Well, like I said when I started this thread. I will always run my 16" wheels and tires so I guess I will never truly have a "West Coast Vicla". Maybe we can start something new, a "Mid West Vicla" or something with the shorter fatter wheels and tires or....call it whatever you like. It's what I like on my bike.

I guess not... Than again, if I could find a quality 21" Whitewall tire I would slap it on and call it anything I want including Vicla. Nice bike my friend...
