Do you think the custom bike trend is changing? what I am saying is do you think we will start seeing more custom baggers and less choppers?
Yes. My belief is that baggers will become the customized bikes and the choppers will die away. In fact, it has already happened. Harley dealers sell way more Street Glides than anything else right now.
My bad I forgot some members spend more time on the internet then they do on their bikes so they no more of whats "in" Do you think we will more beggers being built on TV and in the rags? jackasses need not respond!
If someone did a bike show doing baggers, I would watch but only if they didn't have Kuryakan and there bolt ons. They've already done that and it was boring. Bagger nation, Nasi, Sinister, Bad Dad, Klock Werks would be fun to watch for a while anyway.

Follow the money trail
American Iron Magazine added a few dedicated Bagger issues last year and says they'll probably be emphasizing them more in the future.
My prediction is the hot trend after baggers will be rat bikes....Lower cost,runs on regular and gets better gas milage...Perfect for the new lousy US economy And much like pre washed jeans or distressed worn looking new leather jackets...Harely Davidson will produce pre made rat bikes for RUBs giving them the illusion of instant street cred.
