RE: leave it alone
To me, customizing is a big part of owning a harley. Its awful hard and expensive to customize those metrics....not that I would consider getting one otherwise! Like thumper said....I see it as a blank canvas upon which to express myself.
For some reason it means more to me to have my bike look different from othersthen it means to me to have my car different. I've always kinda strayed away from whatthe mainstream does anyways.
Plus, look at it this way. If EVERYONE else customizes their bike, then that means you too are unique right?
........wait....and spent less $.......*sigh*....I'm gonna go buy a part to make me feel better now.

I knew going into it that I couldn't have a stock Nightster. I am the type who must have something different from all the others. What you do to your bike speaks volumes as to who you are,like a window to your soul.
We are all different and that's the beauty of it, the world would be a boring place if it were any other way.
Ride on, brothers and sisters.

A bike is like a blank canvas to a new owner, whether it's new or used. Part of the experience in motorcycling for many is making the bike your own. Some like pain vanilla, others like tutti-fruiti, and there are a whole bunch of other flavors in between. If you're content with your bike, regardless of what you've done to it - or not, that's all that matters...

I posted here when I first got my bike that I wasn't going to change anything...hmmm...about $1,500.00 later there is still a couple of thousand bucks worth of stuff I'd like to do, it's like a drug!
