Thanks for steering us straight TROLL and letting us all know that stock is the best performance you can get and that 1%ers all ride stock bikes. Now you just need to inform HD of this so that they will stop selling aftermarket parts.

I'm sitting here shaking my head, wondering what I could possibly say to you that you would understand?

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

Amazing, now HDF is getting closer to completion, we now have an authority on the ghetto. Next think you know, there'll be a subsection here just for discussing ghetto related subjects.

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.......

don't. That will look ghetto.


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.

I'd have to agree with this cat! They'd see this geek before he rolled up on his Honda Rebel....
