Electra Glide with no bags
Aren't they quite big? I mean I get it when bagged up, but it seems a bit counterintuitive, sort of like riding a GS without a Polite vest.
I'd still love to mod my triumph to be cafe adjacent. But then I'm not mad on anything too slavishly close to a trend.

Aren't they quite big?
Whatever way my brain works I see some sort of parallel between this idea and the whole JDM VIP car culture... there's something inherently cool about taking a big, practical luxury barge and then deconstructing the purposeful elements of it...
I'm probably full of shit and wrong though?I guess it's sort of like a DIY Road King?

I've sort of run the gamut of desperately wanting a café racer a few years ago to where I am now which is desperately wanting a HD...
The idea of a café racer doesn't appeal to me much at all any more although I would quite like a retro styled naked/ muscle bike type of thing... I have been thinking about a Ducati GT1000 (probably perfect other than not terribly available in Ireland) or Kawasaki W800 (which I worry might feel a bit lacklustre)...
On the other hand I suspect my next bike purchase will be an Evo engined HD, probably an earlier carbed one so 1984-1994 and probably an Electra Glide or Dyna...
I'm torn between the aesthetic of Electra Glide with no bags and wide bars, kind of a backdate to earlier Electra Glide style or else something very skinny with ape hangers and a sissy bar...
