Default What do you think?

Put the LePara Barebones seat on the bike and took the front fender off. What do you think of the look? I love it. I still need to bob my rear fender, or get a different one. It'll come soon enough. Thinking of taking off the crash bar now..

I like the look. Riding in the rain will not be so fun. Nor will the rock chips in the tank.

It looks good without the fender and the seat looks great. I would definetely take off the crash bar. That was the first mod I made to my bike was to take off the crash bar. I would take off my fender, but don't want to get pelted by all kinds of stuff by riding. What is the bandana trick? You mean around the face?

Well, I read it on here Anubisss..someone said to tie a bandana between the forks when running no front fender and it would keep the water off your face.
