usually its the one you pick.... I just choose the custom because I like the look of the no windshield.

Color and style, its an opinionated thing

I choose the Classic because of the leather bags and classic old looks. I like that it has old school looks with modern EFI.

I got the Classic because I can put the windshield on if I want. I believe the Custom also has a factory lowering kit on it.

I bought the classic old school looks, you can remove the bags and windshield in a few minuets. George
