u can just use plasti-dip on the tank
it will give u that flat look
and u can always peel it right off if u dont like it once dried or just get bored of it
i use to have broomstick bars like in the photo -
i didnt like them at all
not very commfy at all -
drag bars would be much more commffy , but i love my apes so
good luck with ur choice

Remove yours for something different, but don't touch it.

I agree with Lebowski.

Leave your pretty tank. Get the white walls. I like the Biltwell trackers. I'm really really sad I wrote of my Biltwell Four Aces bars

I got them right before they were all sold out. Classic bars...mweh.
