I understand what you are saying Jeff, but pretty much no matter what kind of bike you ride, there seems to be a general "image" that goes along with it. The BMW guys all wore the textile's (Aerostich suites etc.), the sport bike guys, the bright leather, the crusier guys (and i lump all crusiers in here, not just HD's) black leather.
I still ride in my textile BMW jacket during the summer and warmer months and then put the gortex liner in it for the fall. It doesn't look like the normal cruiser type jacket, my textile lined riding pants look a lot like leather though.
I looked forever for the "right" leather riding Jacket. I wanted a Vanson bad, until I actually tried them on. I had a very specific style I wanted, no collar, armour, a liner. In the end, the Motor Companies new jacket a couple of years ago fit the bill (the functional riding gear line). There are no skulls, flames, nothing, I think it has a tiny tag on the front that says HD or something, but I like the fit and the protection.
With regards to the pipes, that is a whole nother subject.
