How far would you go on a custom build
if you had unlimited resources?

What will the bikes of the future look like?

This thing looks pretty tuff.
Would like to try it out... :icon_toocool:

I would blacken out my current ultra glide. Lower legs, nacel, primary, primary cover, dash, gas lid, just any parts that could be black.


To expect to be perfect is unreasonable, to strive for perfection is reasonable.

Some years back...
I went over to a shop where my buddy was getting a bike built.
The shop owner came over to my bike, looked it up and down and said "I forgot just how beautiful they are stock".

I took that to heart and never changed anything other than what broke or needed to be upgraded to make it run.

My bike is still pretty much stock - other than the mods I did to make it run again - cam, air cleaner and exhaust, etc... I love the way they look and more importantly the way they ride. I can't see having a bike that doesn't ride well or trades off ride quality/characteristics for looks. Just MHO.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....
