There's a difference between adding accessories and customizing. Customizing is usually one off, made to fit or fill a specific purpose. That's an accessorized bike. Not bad looking, nice and clean, but not custom, either.
This is what I would consider a "custom" Dyna build:

As you're seeing there are a number of definitions.
To me, you're bike is a customized bike, not a custom bike. To me, customizing is taking something and making it yours and not exactly like anything else. My Dyna is a customized bike.
A custom bike is something that is built to be more one-of-a-kind from the ground up. To me, these are examples of custom bikes:

You'll see many different definitions of "customized"
To me, customized means taking something in stock form and changing it to suit you, your needs, and taste.
Personally, I don't get caught up in the debate. "is my bike custom?" It represents who I am, as I'm sure yours does. With that said, who cares whether people think its custom or not.

But mine was, it says so on the aircleaner!!!!
Exactly!
I guess one way to look at it is this.... If you buy a spec home and make changes to it you have customized an existing plan. If you have some one design a home around your wants and desires starting from scratch it's a custom home. Same thing with bikes.
