Comfortable? Depends on how you define it I suppose but I would say no. I doubt many people could ride one of those and hang with you for 400-500 miles a day if you are riding something with a good suspension. Those rigid frames are beautiful but if you don't have a REALLY good seat your butt will get numb soon. And springer front ends don't have a lot of travel either. But at this stage of my life, if I had one I would just want it to ride around in my own 'hood. Having said that, newer Harleys have a "softail frame" and I *guess* they are fairly comfortable and retain the looks of the rigid frame. I am just guessing they're comfortable because I have never ridden one.

Check this one out. Two things I don't particularly like about it. The open primary and the seat. And if I could afford to buy it I would probably put a twisted fork springer on the front but that is just a matter of style and taste.

My best friend helped me put mine together. I had a shop owner do the paintwork and I bought the frame, springer and just about all the parts through him. I think the only thing left on mine that was stock was the tool box and it was chromed. As for where things go, you can set them up more than one way but if you're not into "suicide clutches"--named that for a reason, or so I have heard--and off the wall kinda stuff, they are not all that different except for the custom accessories and the paint jobs. Paint jobs on some bikes costs more than the motorcycle did new. But as for the main stuff the throttle works the same, the clutch is where you would expect and so are the gears.

Never heard of a "suicide clutch," ... does it protrude or something?

A suicide clutch on a motorcycle is a clutch you operate with your left foot, not your left hand.

Suicide clutch refers to a particular style of motorcycle clutch operated by the rider's left foot, instead of the more common left hand. This prevents the rider from placing both feet on the ground at a stop unless in neutral, thus allowing the motorcycle to fall to the left should the rider become unbalanced. Though gaining popularity in the seventies, the concept began with older-style Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycle foot-actuated clutches which could be locked in a safe, disengaged position. Simplification of the system to prevent this locking mechanism became part of the motorcycle chopping phenomenon of the late sixties onwards. Gear shifting was accomplished with the left hand via some sort of shifting lever, usually adorned with lavish shift knobs. Sometimes called a jockey, tank or hand shift, depending on where the shift knob is located relative to the rider.

Did you click on the first link (youtube video) and see the chopper that had the suicide clutch?

Point your cursor at it...? I usually make my links blue (not always) and almost always bold them.
