I have seen a few HD`s that have been lowered with nice wide 70`s style mags and reckon they look meaner than HR`s ,dump the stocky wheels and they look a treat.

Lots of interesting suggestions here. But what criteria are we using?
If we were to look at it from Holdens point of view, as Terry has pointed out the HD had the highests sales per month, then some journo says that they will hurt people if you hit the
