Looks better and cleaner. Yes we all know they are there for a reason. Safety. But we take everything else off we can. Those are just easy.

O and they make the bike less areo dynamic. So they go slower. And you have to clean around them and the tape peals off over time. Just take them off. Its like taking the tag off the sofa. It feels good.

Same reason I took off all the little stickers on the fuel gauge, air cleaner etc. It's just about attention to detail. Of course&nbsp\\;I suffer from OCD syndrome though...
