How much useless bling you have on your bike?

I just added these...couldnt help myself. Waiting on my sliders & the double bubble windscreen.

We assume you're riding a Yamaha. Otherwise, you're WAY over the edge.

I plan on lots of bling (Carbon and Chrome). I think it's part of making the bike your own. That's what it's all about right? Your own bike riding your own ride?

Dyna...If the double bubble doesn't cut it for you, let me know. A good friend owns Laminar Lip and his deflectors do wonders raising the still air pocket without messing up the look too much.

Check them out at http://www.laminarlip.com/

When I see you, I will give you some background info on Andy and all that he has done in plastics for the automotive and motorcycle industries.

Blackbelt,

We've got quite a few "furry" bikes around here; and while I agree with you, I think it's silly, I have to remember how I get razzed about riding a Buell. Same thing... I have to respect their ideas on what's cool. Don't have to like them though!

...furrybikes around here have been reserved by those who can't (or won't) afford to replace busted panels (usually caused by stoopid byke trix), I personally have seen long neon coloured shag on more than one bike....ugggggh!

Lets see, I guess in a way you could say my list is as follows:

Firebolt front end on a Lighting
Freespirit rearsets
KN bar end weights
Galindo Grips (can't find any like yours Dyna, in Buell)
Touring luggage on a non-touring bike
Double Bubble windscreen
Streetfighter Factory seat
and custom vinyl lettering.

Not much for bling, but when I was racing offroad, I glued a Mohawk wig to my helmet. It was cool for a while.

DJ, that might be coming back in.. i mean if the trend stays the way it is going, who knows...

and it is still a good looking bike... but i still can't get past the fuzzy seat, oh yeah and he has a dog bone embroidered on the rear seat... with the saying "every dog needs a bone"

yeah he thinks he is a PIMP!

Just a double bubble...

Cant wait to get this windscreen, supposed to be here monday. Should help with the wind blast & helmet buffeting you get at 100+ mph.
