Hi recently bought a 01 classic, liked it so much I bought an 02 custom. Have owned Harleys in the past, but am impressed with the technology of these bikes, for the time frame they were manufactured. The custom seems to be blinged out a bit more, almost to the Silverado level that was offered years later. Both have an aftermarket exhaust that almost requires removal, when replacing the left front turn signal, joking, looks better, but adds a step when removing the rear wheel etc. Looking forward to learning from this forum.
