Default why?

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!

You certainly have a right to your opinion, but putting different pipes, or paint on a bike doesn't make it look ghetto. It's just making it look "yours". It's called customizing.

nothing wrong with stock if that's your thing. you might catch a beating just for pulling up to a 1% bar anyway,i think ill skip that. I want my bike the way I want it ,yours can sound and look the way the government wants it.

If stock is your thing, thats all kool and the gang...and you do have a right to that thought process and opinion.

Thoughts like that seem like the ole "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy to me...just sayin.

And, Yes.....if YOU show up at a 1% bar I do believe you'll catch a beating.
