Yes, the triple tree is fairly ugly, you'll see what I mean when you get the pannels off.

If you're going "bare bones", you missed removing the lower belt guard and passenger pegs.

good luck,

Not only is the triple tree pretty industrial looking, but there is a bunch of wiring you would need to find a way to hide.

Not a good look huh? I have a beautiful set of chrome trees from a train that you could use with some 'boots' on the bottom legs.
