    kja:

    Chrome forks, wide tire kit with fender, front fender, bars, headlight, seat, forward controls. I agree it's a nice looking bike but not even close to stock. Here is a closer comparison.

     

     ok,  fair enough...... i was actually just browsing around and noticed how similar the lines are on both those bikes. its like they designed the raider after this Harley. i think that's why we all like the warrior,  you really would not be able to find any other production bike that looks even remotely similar

    Harley, but its not exactly a fair fight; add a stack of cash to the raider picture and ask again.

     ITS not about money, it was a simple question about looks,  not power or speed either. i dont think the harley is too custom. looks like pipes and aftermarket wheels, air

    Okay, then replace modified Harley pic with stock Harley pick and ask again.  We could do the same thing with the harley pic you posted against a one-off custom and the vast majority of people are going to go with the one-off.  Whats the point in comparing two bikes on looks when one is obvioulsy highly customized compared to the other?

    I  agree, theydo have alot in common. Never noticed it before. The lines on the Raider are just horrid though IMO.

    NO, its a very simple task......pick the one you like........cant you do that?.... just pick the one you like.......don't need any what ifs, how comes.....I'm not trying to do anything............ should maybe start a new post about people not being able to do a simple thing without interjecting a bunch of other BS....and this is the beginning of the typical blown out arguments on here.   i didn't say one was better than the other, or one was faster/slower,   cost more costs less........just pick the one you like.

    I did. I picked the Harley, maybe you missed that.  If you can not handle people giving their opinions of what they like and why they like it then maybe you should avoid public forums.

    Well in a flat out beauty contest I'd have to go for the modified HD. All you'd have to do to the Raider to make me change my mind is get rid of that nasty exhaust. I'm frankly suprised how many people are slagging the Raider. I like it,,,,even..no, especially the fender struts.

    Re: Raider or Harley, best looking?

    Yeah... I think this is more of an even comparison:


    About the same amount of mods done...

     In this scenario I prefer the Raider..

    As I stated in my original post, I prefer the HD, in THAT comparison.

    But here, apples to apples, the Raider has it hands down...

    and it would mop the HD!!!!!! LOL!

    As far as looks are concerned I really like the Rocker. Add an exhaust and Heartland rear fender conversion and they're tough tough to beat.

    Now that's more like it, similar bikes. Raider hands down over the Harley. The Raider was actually my first choice when I purchased my Warrior. I showed a picture of one to my wife and she said that it looked like a Softail Custom wanna be. That changed my mind quickly. The Midnite rarely gets mistaken for a Harley. And that, my friends, is a GOOD thing!Yes

    I guess when you want to turn right on that bike you just make three left-hand-turns in a row.  Hmm  I love the seat conversion thing on that bike.  The stock seat setup on the Rocker looks absolutely retarded to me.  Ick!

    Re: Raider or Harley, best looking?

    sorry to say so but the raider has a huge, ugly steering head (the space between tank and fork)
    Life may be hard but the alternative sucks!

    The Harley looks better in comparison to either Raider posted in this topic.....
