    I dont think I am either, customized would be black plastics, skull replacing the headlight, flame stickers, etc...

    But what I have is not a restoration either, restoration would be returning all stock parts back to showroom quality.

    So my bike is modded, not customized, not original.

    BGM,

    Your Tecate falls into the 'Kick***' category! I like it.

    forward it's a 1988 Honda TRX 300 Fourtrax.

    The tecate is indeed quite nice, but I think what machines really take the "custom" philosophy and run with it would be like Chainsaw's Tri-z (guzzler) or his old all black 250r with the flames and skull light. Pretty soon my big red will be finished, you guys are going to love it! Its going to be an absolute mud monster! What really I envision as a "custom" would be a machine that you look at and say "holy crap you'd need an 8 point harness to ride that thing", or one that you could just see cruising low and cool.

    We all use terms like restoration and customize loosely.
