Doesn't look any more bizarre than the fairing on the Road Glide IMO

Uglier than a Thunderheader.

It still doesn't look as bad as the ones that look like they're wrapped in furnace pipe tape.

Those are homebuilt and took a lot of skill to build...the end result does nothing for me...but I would still give him a thumbs up.

While I agree to a certain extent, there is such a thing as an ill conceived notion with a poor execution. It's hard for me to respect effort of any kind when the end result is that hideous. And I'm not talking, not to my taste hideous. I'm talking 99/100 agree because it looks like dog **** hideous.

To me it's like admiring someone who had the tenacity to bang his head into a wall until he's unconscious. There is no doubting the effort and perseverance involved. But why?

I see your reasoning and don't disagree. BUT-------if you take 1% of 200,000 guys that is still a respectable number.

Doesn't matter if they are ugly or not. If Sons of Anarchy has an episode where the exhaust is on one of the bikes, everyone will buy them like they did those ugly T-Bars and micro fairings. They would sell even faster if they offered a complimentary pair of Chuck Taylor Allstars .

I'd bet the idea sounded awesome... the end result appears to be something else.
