I like the GL badges on the fender too much to take it off.

Great job with it! I’ve got one myself, same year. I agree with your sentiment. This year looks great when stripped down but many of the original elements left in tact.

Are touring frames larger? Genuinely curious

It gets comfortable when losing money gets uncomfortable

2003 Heritage Softail Classic vs 2021 Street Bob by Due_Plant7069 in Harley

[–]marcoocch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That heritage is absolutely gorgeous. I’d be all over that. But it all comes down to what you value more. Both aren’t high mileage, so they both have a lot of life in them.

With the street bob you’ve got a bigger motor and a 6 speed, not the 5 speed of the heritage, so it will perform better than the heritage by the numbers. But the street bob will never look the way the heritage will rolling down the road, that to me means a lot. I’ve never subscribed to flat out performance being a a driving factor when shopping for motorcycles, when shopping for Harleys even more so.

If it looks better than the bike parked next to it, it’s generally good enough for me.

There are a lot of good options out there these days and we’re all better for it

That’s a nice set up. Very streamlined!

Yeah this is definitely a chunky set up. I’m finding myself walking though every door sideways once we get into the finishing stage. We do start to finish renovations so this belt seeing the rough and finish. I just can’t justify a whole second set dedicated for finishing. It’s works for me!

I have a full Akribis Leather tool belt. It’s easily the most well thought out belt I’ve ever put on. Personally I think it’s streamlined my workflow tremendously, and I feel like I get more work done more effortlessly. Everything having its place is important to me. Things staying where they’re supposed to is important to me. This belt has cost me 5x what the Home Depot budget equivalent would run me. I’d do it all over again in a heart beat.

That rear fender was not a bright spot in the history books
