I am by no means a fan of "cruiser" type bikes, however I have always liked the vulcan series. When I lived overseas, I often rode with a friend who had a customized Vulcan 400. I liked how simple it was, very comfortable to ride, sounded good, and very reliable. My friend's custom chopper shop often used vulcan engines in many of their full-custom bikes because they were so reliable. The only downside is that the chrome on the engines is notoriously bad, often bubbles and peels after only a few years. There is also a plastic coolant tube (small 90 degree bend peice) that likes to leak coolant. My friend had to replace that tube regularly, but luckily it was a cheap part, and im sure that with a little creativity, you could find a way to fix it for good.
