I do have a question for the folks in here. I'm going back and forth about whether to leave the Gauntlet fairing black or have it painted Charcoal Pearl.
What say you?

I went back and forth, but decided that paint eliminates the appearance of a bolt-on part. It now looks like it was made for it. I don't regret it, but keep in mind, it it the first thing that rocks hit. I have small chips in my paint after only two months.

CLUB STYLE = ANYTHING BLACK + TBARS + BULLET STYLE FAIRING. no?
Not trying to be a dick, i like the look; hoping to get a Dyna someday...
I have seen so many, you can do almost anything with these Dyna - very versatile bike.

Considering this style started as an evolution of Frisco style choppers, generally speaking the following must be true:
Modifications are grounded in function
Performance has not been put aside for appearance
High, narrow bars for comfort and ease of lane splitting (no "law" that says they must be tbars)
Mid controls, or forward controls with mid pegs, for handling
The bikes were built to be skinny, lean, fast, handle shitty city streets, but still have the chops to roll long runs on the highway. I think the 1/4 fairing has become a staple, but the rest is really a matter of interpretation in my opinion as long as the soul of the style is still achieved. Tbars, well, they are a wonderful mix of apes and drag bars, are typically very narrow for lane splitting, and just handle awesomely which is probably why you see them on this type of bike so much. They are kings of utilitarian bars and these bikes are built to be utilitarian bikes so they go hand in hand.

I tend to agree that this style of bike is function over form, but we all have to admit that we spend money on style too. Black PC comes to mind, but other stuff too.
I stopped by the local Aprilia dealer the other day because they had an Arai helmet for my wife that was 50% off. It was too good to pass up. Anyway, I was trying to describe my bike to one of the hard core road racer guys. He looked confused at first, but then said, "It sounds like you ride a sport touring bike."
I have to say, that's the best way to describe it. Look at the sport touring bikes from the other manufacturers. Smaller fairing, good suspension, functional luggage (but not huge.). We ride sport touring bikes.
It doesn't sound as cool as Club Style though!
