Studs are fine if that's your thing. My Road King has them but they are Black with Chrome rings around them. Ride your bike the way you want it. Oh, and for the record, I don't do Black T-shirts.

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  
I think its mostly an "age" thing....I like studs, thier old school to me. I remember when I was a kid, we couldnt wait til we were older and could get a bike with studs n floorboards! Back when a 1200cc was a monster! 750s were the average size. Now, you young ens' dont want floorboards...u want them 'forward controls, no chrome, etc. your time will come too... when the next generation will snicker about that. As for me bring on the studs n conchos!
Oh yea....and fringe off my grips!

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  
I guess I was destined for a few studs. Wore a dog collar to schools Circa 1983! I guess I don't have anything against fringe, (I am on the fringe, after all!) except that dang Heritage Softail Classic with the fringes on the bags looks kinda like them U.P.S. trailers with the "spray killers" around the tires!

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  
I had the studded seat and bags and really liked them,only got rid of them because I had seat recovered and put HD RDKing bags on otherwise I would still be running them ___ I do like my floorboards and plenty of chrome by the way no fringes though not my thing and I am 33

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  
I put what I like on my bike because I'm the one who rides it. I've never had anyone rib me or criticize anything on my bike, but unless they could show me that it is unsafe or illegal, I'd probably ignore it and enjoy what I like on my bike.

I have studs on my saddlebags with snakeskin flame inserts.

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  


Studs on seats, saddle bags and tank bra, floor board and lever fringe, wwww tires, 12" apes on 4" risers, w/Dragger seat. Oh yeah ... that's my ride. Don't like it? Not to worry ... you were never going to ride it anyway!



edit: The only thing my 'Harleyer Than Thou' riding buddy ever criticized on my ride (besides not being a HD) was the rust on the back of my chromed lowers ... until I informed him that they were an HD part.

Re:Opinion about studs 12 Months ago  
You know, those things on the levers are "tassles". They are too long to be considered a "fringe"
