I am sure some will like it as tastes vary a lot and that's a good thing. Myself. my bike is black so I will just keep the colour matched one on my limited.

I swear that when some folks buy a Harley they get an injection of Crow DNA, it causes an insane attraction to shiny stuff !! haha.

Another cool thing about Harley not changing a lot over the years is the availability of items for the bikes! Try putting a part from a 1974 Honda on a 2014.

Dang! There are some real Kury haters here. I have their hand grips, bag latches, couple pieces of engine chrome, and I think some more stuff I'm forgetting....... I like them.

....Just looked at my pic, yeah, I forgot frame heat deflector trim, engine mount cover thing, and brake caliper cover, and oil cooler cover. Haha oh yeah, and LED tail light.

Kury is like the Kia of the Harley world ... exaggerated styling that doesn't quite get it.

Is there a thread out there somewhere on double stick tape for Kury accessories? Kinda like an oil thread......

"My name is John and I have a 2002 FLHR. I bought a used Kuryakyn fender tip cover and I need to replace the adhesive.....should I use Scotch or 3M double stick? Which is recommended for my ROad King?? Please help!"

I had a set of Iso grips that I covered with some leather because it seemed everyone had them. I like the swingarm covers for the Softail and some of the smaller engine cover pieces.

Not a huge fan of plastic chrome and zombies but hey I'm sure there's sh*t I do that others probably shake there head about too.
