AFTER CUSTOMIZING MY FIRST BIKE (1997 FXSTC) I WAS HOOKED. I PURCHASED THIS 06 STANDARD AND THOUGHT WOW WHAT A BLANK CANVAS. JUST WHAT I WANTED. IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST 06 CARB BIKES LEFT AT MY LOCAL DEALER, SO I JUMPED ON IT. I SEE SOME CUSTOM PAINT IN MY FUTURE, BUT THE STOCK COLOR HAS GROWN ON ME. ITS BEEN SO MUCH FUN BUILDING UP THIS BIKE. I LOVE RIDING IT, AND LOOK FORWARD TO MANY ENJOYABLE MILES. THANKS

14" Nash Gimps
Indian Scout headlight..
Horn and Tailight covers Skullsrus

after being away from a bike for about 10 years decided to up and buy a new Harley Street Bob with an idea in mind. I have always loved the look of old Indians, however price has always been an issue. After breaking in the bike for 1000 miles started the makeover paint and powder , followed by the spring seat and attitude stick and this past year the front end and wheels.

fxstdave, beautiful bike. Good luck.

doc ock · 07-06-2009, 07:05 PM

clays bike was a close second for my vote, but I liked rickyrat more. The others looked liked a bunch of bolt on chrome.

EG6BOOOSTIN · 07-07-2009, 09:21 AM

I Voted For Fxstdave For The Simple Fact That I Love The Style Of The Bike.the Quality Of The Parts Used On This Beautiful Machine Are Seconed To None. Just By Looking At The Pic I Can Tell That Those Are Not Just V/h Pipes That U Get At The Dealer. They Are Martin Bros. Exhaust.an The P/m Brake Set Up To Match The Pm Wheels And Pulley. A Big Plus For Fxstdaves Bike Is There Is Alot Of Custom Crome An There Not Just The Cheap Junk That You Bolt On Its The Real Deal

CaptVic · 07-07-2009, 04:23 PM

I voted for Clay because I like the idea of a parts bike. Good job Dennis.

kustom_flames · 07-08-2009, 07:05 PM

I had to go with Clay, too! FXSTDave's bike is beautiful...but needs custom paint

Rickyrat's just won last month on a different forum

Strokester, very nice!
Clay, that's all him! Way to go bro!

NJ RIFF RAFF · 07-09-2009, 12:26 AM

Sorry Dennis, but this was a No-Brainer for me. Dave's bike is PHAT! Color, Chrome, Wheels...etc. And I think Dave would kick my A$$ if I didn't vote for him. Very Intimidating!

rickyrat · 07-10-2009, 08:10 PM

Normally wouldn't vote for my own ride , however I am of fan of old school bikes and rat bikes.... and since there wasn't any.

black05flhrci · 07-12-2009, 03:32 PM

I voted for FXSTDave's bike.

I think it really classy looking. It is tough to make a bike look good and stand out without going to overboard.

The blue looks good. It is nice to see a customized bike that does not have skulls, eagles, wolves, flames, ghost flames, clowns, or tribal markings. While many look good, they are just too played out now.

BadTrain · 07-12-2009, 11:05 PM

Voted for FXSTDAVE - like the nice clean look.

kustom_flames · 07-13-2009, 12:02 PM

I agree about the clean look of FXSTDave's scoot...but stock paint just doesn't do it for me on somethin so heavily customized. Take the tank get a cool airbrushed HD logo on it and be done. Custom paint doesn't always mean flash or flames or skulls...

I actually think everyone has a great lookin bike!
