Thanks mike.

I just think everybody's tastes and preferences are different. Some people want to build stuff that can't be store bought. Others are content to buy H-D or aftermarket parts to modify their bike. And then there are even some that like to keep their bike mostly stock (won't find many on hdforums). Whatever you want to do your bike, is cool with me.

mac, I honestly don't think most of the posts were trying to dog you for suggesting whether one thing is custom or not. I know I personally was not.

There was one post about store bought ain't custom and gotta make your own stuff that some of us were responding to.

That was my take anyway.

If I had the skills and the tools to fabricate my own ****, I would love to do that. But until then, I'm perfectly satisfied buying cool stuff "off the shelf".
I was messing with you. I got it, and then flipped it.

I look at bikes like I look at cars. You have mods, and then you custom work/fabrication.

At one point I thought about getting some custom stuff from OCC, WCC, and some other makers (have a mix of custom parts from different projects I have seen). Then I looked at the cost. 100% shelf stuff for this guy.

Harelys are about making a bike yours. Every rider make their bike 'theirs'. Its custom made for them. But custom can mean different things to each rider.

Hey Mac.. Bike mods are looking good man! I don't think anyone here is trying to dog on your mods. Your question just opens a large broad bag of worms with different takes and opinions. My *** being the only one that sits on my bike is what makes mine custom.

Customized... modified... it doesn't matter.
All that matters is that you are satisfied with the changes you've made to give it your own unique twist.
