Why do some people put other things on their bike (paint, pipes, handlebars, etc.?) Doesn't that make the bike look ghetto? Won't you catch a beating if you pull up to the wrong 1% bar? Think about it...if H-D wanted that stuff on the bike, they would have made it that way. I suggest we all save our money and leave them the way they look and perform the best. STOCK!

I'll mention that they do not perform best when stock, but I seriously doubt you would even care about that. It's a free country - Enjoy your "stock" life.

Leave them OEM stock? What the hell kind of question is that? I'm sure HD wouldn't be too happy if everyone left them stock either.
And if your sister had ***** she'd be your brother I suppose.

Hey Lewis, your last post said your just got a bike and that you needed a manual , and pretty much all the tools to work on it. I think you said a 2014 manual too, and you said you need these so you can start doing things to it. Seems you've had a change of heart. Stock sucks that my opinion! lol

No my skin isn't thin, but it looks like some in here might have hurt feelings. I was actually planning on putting different handlebars, grips and probably highway pegs on my bike (for comfort). That's why I asked the QUESTION. I didn't want my bike to appear ghetto to other traditional H-D people. I think some of you might be being a little hypocritical in your comments to me though. I think everyone has their own idea of what level of modification looks ghetto in both bikes and cars. There could be a bike on the cover of EASYRIDER, that you might say to yourself, you would never own such a bike because it doesn't even look like a H=D, and looks too GHETTO! just sayin.......

kidding aside, I think shoddy work, cheap parts, puerto rican paint jobs etc look ghetto. Spending time, money, and doing it right make your bike look unique and badass.
