if it's stock, it's just another Harley. Make it your own man. Every year I've owned a bike for 35 years or so I"ve added something to them all. Gotta love customizing.LOL

Very few leave their bikes stock, if any.&nbsp\\; This is not to imply that noone likes thier bikes as purchased, just that I cant see anyone never adding anything to make it more your own or more comfortable to you as a rider.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
If you want to get technical even if its just removing a sticker it is no longer stock and I pulled most of the stickers off my bike within the first week.

how many of you have left their ultra classic stock?...
I changed to a slightly shorter windshield and Mustang seat (both were for comfort/safety)...the rest is stock.

I like the bike the way it is...

I had full intentions of leaving my UC stock.&nbsp\\; Ride all day in a strong headwind and Stage 1 becomes mandatory.&nbsp\\; Read this forum for a while and you'll see too many cool mods to resist.

all stock, oops I did shorten the windshield slightly, spend all the bucks just buying the thing and then have to spend more to "customize" it ? I don't think so, besides it looks just fine the way it is.

Wow.&nbsp\\; Stock?&nbsp\\; I didn't realize that was an option!&nbsp\\; Seriously, when I bought mine I thought it was perfect and couldn't imagine that I'd want to change anything at all.&nbsp\\; But then the sickness kicked in again...

Stock? What's that. Even before I started, the bike had been customized with HD Security and ABS on the show room floor.

Shorter windshield, new grips and the floorboard extension. Thats it...but only because I don't have the $$ to do all the stuff I want to do to it.&nbsp\\; Rides awesome the way it is though!
