Opinions NEEDED...QUICK

Hey all:

Yes, I am a chrome junkie. I am thinking of getting the piece you see below in the HD photo for my ultra. I've also included what my fairing looks like now.

What do you all think. Add it or Not and why????????

Thanks for your feedback....

The less attention you can bring to the front of the batwing the better.

Add a smoked low profile windshield. I would not want to put anything else on the fairing.

Unless there's something wrong with the paint, don't cover it up. The glued on tank emblems were one of the first things to go on my bike.

That was perfect!

Now back to your question. I am not a big fan of those personally. Plus they are going to be a PITA to put on perfectly straight. I would worry more about them being off just a tad. It would drive me crazy if they were off just a hair.

Bleh!! Leave it clean. Makes the front look cluttered. Now if there were LED's that were frenched into the fairing and were invisible unless on....then that would be different.
