They are all show. Rather unwieldy and down right unsafe - under braked and over weight.
The folks who claim to "enjoy" cruising on them are full of shit.
The entire journey better be on a freeway, because they are slow turning, tiring to ride, hard to stop pieces of over priced poser crap. 
The more radical or outrageous the bars/pegs/seat the more effort it is to ride.
They are not fun. At least, none of the really custom bikes i have tried have left me with anything but thoughsof "When the fuck can I pull over and give this rolling death bed back to it's idiot owner".
Funny how people scream how Yanky cars are bad handling lumps of pig iron, yet they buy into this Harley/Custom Bike genre crap at a drop of a hat.

my cousin is a big chopper fan had has an 80's custom and I have er... tried to ride it
they are simply a cruiser for straight highways (much like an impala)
