Not to offend you, but seeing a sportster with bags and windscreen, plus the little tid bits that make a "cruser" is .. eh .. hideous. And why buy a bike just to turn it into something else?

I'm not knocking Harleys as I said in other threads. I actually still want a softtail someday, but you can get a metric bike in that price range you mentioned that is low, fast, loud and gets you around town.
