Some guys like chrome, some like special paint, some like tooled leather, some apes, some blackouts, some like studded saddle bags, you like that as decoration then good for you.... but the fashion police will try to tear you down for your personal choice.
They (sadly) live for these threads.

Like I said maybe I missed something but didn't read where he's asking for anybody's opinion.
I got no use for one personally nor care for them but hey, it aint my money nor my choice. Enjoy it guy.

The thing is that he didn't ask for opions....or at least the way I read his thread. He was glad to finally get it. Likes the way it looks and how it hangs and where he got it from if anybody was interested.

Re-read my second sentence. I should have added IMO. When you post something like this, you do so with the knowledge that you are inviting all kids of opinions from the peanut gallery. I didn't post one myself because I'm with you. Do what you want with your bike and your money.

So the idea is you detach it and use it to brake someone's windshield if they are crowding you? Otherwise, it's there for looks and visibility?
Sorry, the car is going to win that one. And a metal flake helmet might work better to be seen.
Anywho, enjoy it if makes your ride any better.

True, but, hopefully, they will realize that the people they get feedback from on this forum, especially on threads like this, are mostly not the same kind of people they will meet riding real Harleys in the real world.

If it's purely for visibility purposes, this makes more sense than a get-back whip:
