New toy for the summer

Congrats man! I'm half and half on the windshield. It doesn't look as bad on your bike as it does on most.

As for the winsheild yes it does look gay but i bought the bike and it was on there. Havent decided if im gonna leave it or not but it is nice on rt 55 going to work

i agree Harleys are a bit hyped up, and the cruisers are a bit higher priced compared to the imports. but you can take my bike, which cost $6500 and turn it into a small cruiser for less than 2 grand, bags, windshield, highway pegs and bars etc. but, in my case i want my bike to be a get around town, low, loud and fast toy.

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.

im not saying id do any of that to my bike, my point was that you could have a harley "cruiser" for the same price as an import. it would definitely be hideous though like you say.
