different things for different folks, that is what makes customizing so much fun, I know alot of folks that think drag bars are ugly but they are what i prefer. build what you like not what others do. by the way i read what he was putting them on, just that after i rode my buddies bike couldnt understand the attraction

I'm not so sure cutting and splicing wires is such a great idea if you can get wire extensions instead. Much less chance of wiring malfunctions down the road occurring at the most inopportune time......
