No fringe on mine, and I don't think it would go with my color. But I like it on some of the other colors, especially the black. Shrink's bike is absolutely gorgeous... one of the best looking I've seen. I love what he's done with the lights, too.

Definitely not something I'd do to my bike but I have to admit, TheShrink's bike doesn't look bad. As others have said, to each their own.

Thank you ALL for the kind words. I think I could convert some of the "con" people if they were to see this beast in person.

Thanks Again!

Shrink's bike has character, may not be for everybody but a little character in other's bikes makes us all look good in my opinion. Nothing wrong with the fringe, lunatic or not!

I'll tell ya what though, Left5string you got one mighty fine looking RK there! That Aqua is as cool as cool can be on a Hog!

Have you seen some of the special colors the MOCO has been putting out lately? I can't say I take thier word for what is tacky or not...

That said....

lefty5string... I'm a righty4string... can't do the 5's....

I've been looking for the fringe like the shrink has on his ultra but without all the bling, no conch's or studs....

Shrink, your ultra ROCKS!!!
