Yes I do. It is oval and my right knee hits it when I use the rear break. This gives me more leg room but does it take away from the look of the bike?

The new one is better by far. The stock school bell and/or football shapes are horrible, in my opinion.

You just gave away the aftermarket's secret...that's what they were using.

Except they were charging $90 for it.
