Had one on my Sportster & really liked it. Fugley is in the eye of the beholder.

Another thing to fade or wear on the paint.

My bike had one on it when I got it... I just didn't get used to it, so i took it off. It didn't seem to match any of the lines of the bike, or the paint scheme I had... looked 'out of place' to me.

You can see it in my 'before' and 'after' pics.. to each his own i guess.
