Well after some time away, I decided I missed having a dyna and with a recurring ankle injury I could definitely use a lighter bike. So I traded in my road glide on this little jewel. One ride and I was hooked. More fun than my fat bob was when I got done with it and this is just the beginning. Now to find a full fender for the back and then I can work on other upgrades.
Not cutting anyone down, just playing Devil'a Advocate...but if a bike comes "club style" from the factory, is it still club style? Isn't the whole club thing to modify your bike to be lighter, faster, stronger, perform better etc etc.
If it comes with good suspension, Tbars, big motor and a fairing from the factory, is it just a bike? If a tree falls in the forest...

That little cafe fairing does nothing but add to the look. Solo seat gotta go, chopped rear fender's gotta go, shocks are too short, stock exhaust gotta go, bars too low, etc...
I still think that there is enough to change to make it "club/thug/purpose built/your favorite adjective here" style. It's a great starting point but not the style we want from the factory, IMO.
Part of why I went with the standard low rider - the bigger motor just wasn't enough of a tradeoff for the price difference and everything else I was going to have to change to make it what I want.

You have a good point and I will drag it down the street. Harley hit pretty close to the mark on the LRS. But I think if you distill it down to basics, you have fashion, and you have function. SOA is fashion, black out, T bars, and quarter fairings. Function is suspension, tires, brakes, chassis stabilizers, alignment, and horsepower. If its not function, it's fashion...
Corporate designs are fashion, the base models are a blank canvas, do your own thing it's good for the soul.
The missing link is the rider... One size does not fit all, I keep seeing the same cockpit positioning for guys from 5'6" to over 6'2", 14 inch T bars don't work for everyone.
Doing your own thing is a Harley-Davidson tradition, I'm not telling anyone not to go down the "Club Style" road, what I am saying is think about how you ride and where you ride and adjust accordingly. Lead don't follow, it's a club tradition.

I could argue that bars are more "function" than "fashion" but I'd REALLY be reaching there...and you do have a point. Problem with most people getting into this "style" is they just look at what someone else has that they think looks cool and get those, not considering the function side of such a crucial piece of the bike.
For me, this just works...
