With every bike I think about custom paint. But all I've done is think about it! It's a lot of money typically but makes your bike totally unique. I think no matter what your bike will be out of style at some point. What we call old school now was totally obsolete 10 years ago and not in style. If you're gonna keep your bike then the money may be well spent. If you plan on selling/trading it you'll never get your investment out of it. I think looking at the possibilities is most the fun anyway. Of course this is my female perspective on it! I always tell my husband I could buy a new sofa or paint my bike. He always votes for the bike!!

 

Paint the bike and rideP1010025.JPG

 

I just got a custom paint job last week on my Street Bob, I just wanted it to look different from the other Streetbobs running around. I've had lots of bikes and I've never had one custom painted before. I really love the paint job, but now I'm so damn worried that I'm going to scratch it or it will get keyed downtown one night that I don't think I would do it again. I could have vacationed for a week in the Bahama's with the money I spent on paint job and if I had a do over thats what I would spend my money on. Just my opinion.

 

This is what I like about HDForums. Always room for more ********.

 

Just for clarification. I was asking if the riders here think graphics are en vogue or not so much these days.

 

O.K. internet bad-***....

 

Thats not a tough guy,this guy is!!!

 

I'd say custom is always in style unless you go flames/skulls, etc. then not so much, IMO

 

Or more little whiny girls that care what people think or whats in style LOL

 

Aw ****! not another internet bad *** on a sportster? GFY
