I don't get them, but it works for me because of the wrap on the pipes, blacked out front and no fender. So yeah, I give it a thumbs up. Not to be a wet blanket, but do you take it off and dry it out after it rains?

I like it on a bike with apes but its such a region specific look and its kind of a cultural thing so if you aren't repping La Raza then I dont know...

yea if it gets wet ill have to dry it, but the lady that made the leather harness for it said that the blankets she uses are all washer and dryer safe if need be.

to be honest im not doing it to rep a culture or anything, but i know what you are taking about. i honestly did it bc i read on a blog somewhere from a guy who has ape hangers and doesnt like windshields, like me, and it re directs wind somewhat and helps at higher speeds with the wind. but i do like the way it looks on bikes. plus it will be nice for taking naps if i need to on longer rides or staying at friends houses if i need a blanket or a pillow.

Are those chrome buckles on the leather attachment straps? Be careful!!!! adding chrome can be addicting. I know because I have several of them laying around that I don't even use very often.

I like it Kyle! It's cool to have a few inexpensive things that you can throw on our take off your bike to change it up and keep you from spending your life savings. Decay is right though. You need to get rid of that chrome ASAP. Before you know it you'll be doing more polishing than riding and people will call you names like chromewhore or chromosexual .

I guess once you go black you never go back...lol


Chromosexualism is genetic, I never had a choice I was born this way!
