Question Front end look

Here is one for you all. I am trying to make my mind up on changes to my front end for next winter or maybe even this year. My idea is to remove the upper fork slider covers on my Lo and run it naked, then black out the lower forks.

Questions i have about this mod are; Do i need some type of dust cover to cover the seal? would the nacelle look weird with out it as the gap would be larger than the fork tubes?

I really like the guys with trains on here with the black lowers and black trees and bare tubes, but i dont want to get ride of the nacelle and go that direction so maybe i split the difference.

What do you think?
