MY OPINION ONLY - I think it's the absolute worst looking "stripper-ish" thing you can do to your bike. There are bikes running around with this fringe stuff everywhere that look like a buffalo. Think before you fringe...

IMO, short fringe on the levers is OK. Anything else is overboard. Pretty soon member "TheShrink" will post......he's pro fringe

Even the MoCo knows fringe is tacky. They finally started leaving it off the Heritage Springer bags.

You got it Dawg!

Ok boys, shoot away. Check out my gallery, I fringed out both my Heritage and my Ultra. I love it, and so do alot of people I see on the road. It looks like a big hula skirt going down the road. The more the better IMHO.

Say what you want, but i think TheShrink has the best looking Ultra on this forum. The fringe thing is awesome! So Lefty, you get some PM's going with him and you'll be on your way.
