You need to take another picture. I see the original horn cover with the tat. What's the new one look like?

He bought the piece for the "cool factor". He is just rationalizing why he "needed" it.

And if you would notice that, you are spending too much time walking around looking at bikes sitting on their kick stands and not riding. You would never see it on the highway as you pass.

MikeBel, above, was the most honest.[/QUOTE]
I put it on after a 200 mile ride on Saturday. I can assure you my bike doesn't sit long unless its very cold or raining. or both. I know it rreally wont be seen much but I think it looks better.

Oh, I get it. You want an opinion as long as it agrees with yours..
I didn't know the rules...

I still side with your wife.

and, is 200 a lot of miles?

It does look nice. I bought mine strictly for show as the OE one looks like crap. I guess some of us like to dress up are rides no matter who can see it. Great job and my wife doesn't notice either which is fine, I bought that stuff for me!

Looks great man.
I use to get the wife to look at every minor part I put on. She would say I don't see the difference. So once I started doing all out projects and telling her to look at the before and will show her the after..She would reply "I don't see it or I don't get it". I think I may have to change the complete color just for her to notice.
