Default What's the next trend for Harley's & Custom bikes?

Last decade we had the rise (and fall) of the mega $$ Chopper......raked and stretched, high dollar paint, big inch motors, with beach ball tires out back.

The coming of senses and real world functionality brought 'Baggers' back into the spotlight, and the 'Bobbers' took over as the new 'custom' bikes to own. Chrome has taken a back row, with Black "the new chrome" becoming more prominent on custom and factory bikes.

So what's next?

Hopefully riding them will be the new wave.

Looks like custom baggers is the new trend, I think choppers are almost out, bobbers are most popular with baggers about to take over.

Dynas w/ tall risers, drag bars, 1/4 fairings and wrapped thunderheaders is my vote. Three years ago I rarely saw such a thing, but now I see them pretty regularly.

My guess?

Blacked out. Oops, already been done.

Chromed out. That's been done too.

Pink paint schemes. Nope, but done.

Car engine in bike. Rats, another thing that's been done.

Fat wheels/tires. Arrghh...that's been done.

Ostrich seats. Nope, that's been done.

Hmmm...how about we go back to a regular bike?
