Default Tassels - Please somebody ban them
I am sorry but I just cannot see why anybody would want to put these stupid things on their Harleys or whatever - They look stupid and are a great laughing topic amongst bikers - Harley meets are being called "Tassel Fests"

Seriously they look friggin stupid so lets get them banned before somebody else nearly dies laughing at the stupid things -

As for Fringe jackets well that another story

Ahh rant over

To each their own. I don't like tassels either, but everyone has the right to customize their bike how they want. How would you feel if someone wanted to bad something you like?

Lots of guys tease me at work about my lever tassels, but they are the ones driving a Prius home while I ride my Harley at the end of the day.

Too funnny! This is what I think whenever I see them. I never have understood the purpose of the things.
