How can they be 'custom' bikes if everyone has the same custom bike?

That's like having the same individuality as everyone else...

Custom; 1. A practice followed by people of a particular group or region as per the Harley Davidson Tribe.

2. A habitual practice of a person: my custom of reading a little before sleep. See Synonyms at habit. My custom of having a Harley Davidson as I am a unique individual and everyone else have one.

3. Law A common tradition or usage so long established that it has the force or validity of law. Such as "HD" or "Harley"

4. a. Habitual patronage, as of a store. Like at Christmas when Harley people all go get the latest custom $60 T shirt and will be the only on one their block or, if they are lucky, the only one in their house that has it. For now.

b. Habitual customers; patrons. See; Harley Davidson.

Excuse me whilst I go sew on my new H.O.G. patch so that I can proudly display my uniqueness.

oh..sorry. My bad. My helmet is easy to spot too. It's the one that has "IF You Can Read This, The B!tch Fell Off" emblazoned across the back of it. I mean, come on!..it don't get more original than that.

Not just HDs back in the Navy I walked out to the lot jumped on a 900 Kawasaki and got out of the lot. Then I saw it only had one review mirror. Then I saw a couple other diffs. Oops wrong bike! Key even fit.

Happens to me all the time. I walk out to a group of bikes and they all look just like mine.

And this "key" you refer to...what does that do? :whistle:

Thanks. If it didn't leak from so many places, I'd probably put it in the living room and put a piece of plexiglass over it...call it a coffee table.

Guy at the dealership told me that was a feature, you can see at a glance if it needs fluid. No puddle means add more:)

You laff..you jest..but it's actually the case that the earlier Harleys than my '47 used a gravity feed oiling system where you filled up a tank and it (the oil) wended its way through all the vitals until it was dropped out on the road. On porpoise.

Mine has the vestiges of that system; I plugged the port that fed the primary drive chain because I converted that to belt, but the built-in leak in the secondary drive that keeps the rear chain oiled..ain't nothing anyone can do about that.


But lets get real. I owned a '66 BSA 500 that actually had a friggin' big sponge mounted in a tray under the entire engine. Yup..factory.
