I used to read some of the Custom mags and the vehicles specs used to make me laugh - Custom HD, engine by S&S, frame by soem specialist or other, forks by another, bodywork (tank, seat etc.) by Corbin et al.
There was rarely anything HD left in it...
Mind, I suppose that applies to many Cusotms - at least the VW above still shows some semblance of the original split screen VW Microbus - anyone remember Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie? rofl
You go for it on the HD, I just mentioned that my one and only foray into the world of HD was disappointing...

Graham, it does'nt really matter to me if Harley logo is lost off this particular bike and I won't be building a Harley custom bike either. Not my thang. But I quite like the 'basic bones' that I will be working with. It won't be radical because it has to be practical and usable.

H-D.....(even Morgan shocked2) .....are capable of being a disapointment if one's expectations are lifted up beyond reality.....sometimes 'bad' can be 'good'.....unless it's just rubbish. I don't think the Harley's are rubbish but they are rather crude ! grin2
P.S. Fuel injection can work wonders on an old plonker of an engine....my mildly tuned XR engine is a bit of a peach...well pleased actually.
90hp at the back tyre combined with good dollop of torque low down.....not bad for a 'small' Harley engine. This baby even corners... shocked2
