New for 2005, we redefined our Manufactured Custom class and add 2 more custom classes. Customs are defined as motorcycles that have been altered from factory specs or custom built. The type and number of modifications to your bike determine which of our 3 Custom Classes your bike belongs in. Modifications may include paint, engine, frame, suspension, fenders, side covers, fuel tanks, lights, handlebars, wheels, exhaust and brake systems, etc. Bolt-on items count toward a total number of modifications. 3 individual bolt-ons equals one modification.
Example 1: A stock bike with custom-gel pad seat, bolt-on windscreen, bolt-on mirrors, bolt-on footpegs enters as Manufactured Custom because this is 4 bolt-on items (1 + mods).
Example 2: A stock bike with custom-gel pad seat, bolt-on windscreen, bolt-on mirrors, bolt-on footpegs, stroked 124 inch motor, powder coated frame, and custom paint with graphics enters as Mild Custom because this is 4 modifications (4 bolt-on items => 1 mod + 3 mods).
