Just MO, I think the Harley Davidson emblem is enough, I like the streamline boards and just pegs for the shift, Too many Harley emblems, an bar and shields just look tacky.. imho...

I mean, you know it's a harley, and if it's loud enough, everyone else will too...

I have 3 daughters so I get the "Pink purse with brown shoes?" or the "Polyester jacket with the tweed skirt and heels?" all the time.


You chose the right combo.

Your choice matches just fine. The boards you got are a bit more practical on the long rides as well.

Do what makes YOU happy....Yeh, I sound like Dr. Phil......Big S%&T. If you're concerned about what other folks think, no big deal, but if the boards, grips, theme make you want to ride more.....go for it!!

good idea! They are very good looking and after reading a recent post about comfort, they are the best aftermarket option to retain comfort.
