Those of y'all that like stuff like that....cool but I'm glad Harley Davidson leaves some stuff the hell alone and that dealers don't always change parts out upfront on the CVO's etc,etc....let the owners decide.

I might be the only guy on this board who likes the cheap original tourpak hinges...They've been dependable,they're small and blend in,polished mine up....they look good.If I wanted different option I'd black 'em out.

Seems like some one here can find something to complain about even if the whole bike was gold plated. I'm not saying that MOCO is perfect by any means, but if thet're are so bad why the h#ll are you on a Harley forum. BITCH BITCH BITCH!!!

They should just give the frickin bike away for free, then we'd have that much more to spend on the outrageous mark-up for the parts/labor

You must have missed the part where I said "Don't get me wrong I like mine just fine"

Besides that, what else am I supposed to do to kill time waiting on some football.

Nope that is exactly right, each and every part can be replaced with something else. I'm not sure I'd consider all the changes people make as upgrades. Different strokes for different folks.
Some people even start with individual pieces and build an entire bike.

No kidding. A guy makes a reasonable observation and blammo! Some folks are way too uptight.

No I just get tired of everybody bitchin about a company trying to stay in business & make a profit, if you don't like the way the company does business then buy something else. Maybe MOCO should reduce all their prices by 30% to make everybody feel warm & fuzzy, then we won't have any Harleys to buy in a couple of years. Not trying to pick on any one individual, just seems as though there's a lot of bitchin going on from people that are supposed to love Harleys. It isn't a perfect world ya know., I guess if it was we'd all be making a couple hundred grand a year & Harleys would cost half as much & never break down.
