Default So much for shaved legs

I just saw these, and my 2cents is they are busy as hell, and still not truly akin to radial mounted calipers. They look like the caliper mount is clamped onto the lower leg. Like I said, busy as ****! Happy Thanksgiving
Arlen Ness btw

I'm not a fan of most Arlen Ness stuff. It just really doesn't appeal to me.

That has a wow factor.
Not a "gaudy" look, but, to me, a performance look.
Whether it offers performance improvement, well I do not know.

I didn't know what the hell to expect. But that Arlen Ness leg set up is fugly! But I'm not an Arlen Ness fan at all.

Now the legs that @Uncle Larry Posted on the other hand, I'd put a set of those on my bike any day!
