Title: factory or custom
Post by: 58 delray on December 20, 2009, 08:44 PM

probably been discussed before but i've only been on here since october.
 so what is your preferance and why, i prefer a custom build up because thats the way i've always done it (coudn't afford a complete bike when i started in the early eighties) so built my own and upgraded from there, goose, ace, ripper etc etc

Love custom builds  :smitten:

Glen's (the gay pensioners) Curtis the other week ticked all the box's for me as a 'custom build' .  :4_17_5:

Having said that it is great to see a factory spec or rider replica build .  The time , effort , research not to mention money that some of the lads on here go to is ubelievable and a credit to them .  :daumenhoch:
