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'm kind of partial to Rocky Road. Other than hemorrhoids, what will this entail??

Its all about the customization. Make the bike yours. If you want stock, go for it. If you want to be radical with it, shine on.

I agree. Customizing your bike is like picking out your bike in the first place. It has to Fit YOU and only YOU.

Enjoy it fixed up anyway you want,just Enjoy it!

I didn't do anything to my first 2 Harleys. Just rode them as is. This is the first one I've actually played around with.
