What's the purpose of the back-off whip on the front brake lever? Is it an image thing or serve a useful purpose? Just curious about those.

Several options
1. Is the colors of the MC
2. Is used with a quick release to persuade the cager next to you to move the hell over.
3. Used in fights
4. Some say it was used to keep other riders at bay when riding next to you.

I see some that they hang so much they are dragging on the floor as far back as the passenger pegs. I mean Really?
But to each his own. If he/she likes it so be it. Who am I to judge them.

Well the whip goes way back from another bike and its like riding with my dog if it isnt there I miss it. When its there I never notice it.

The rest goes as....

footboards, brake pedal, shifter,hwy pegs and 1.8" grips all willie G
chrome controls,switch covers, and switches
stainless braid clutch, throttle,brake lines
buffalo wide line 1.25" x 12.5" bars
HD windscreen
black studded mustang solo w/backrest, and matching fender bib
rear rack is unknown brand
All new since may this yr along with few other bits and pieces.
