Re: Which Tail looks better?

They both look good , consider the source. Are there any lights on the one to the left? Maybe all L.E.D. ? I like to be seen, brighter lights the better. Reflectors too.

Running the setup on the right, you'll probably survive longer on the street and be hassled less often by the police.

Re: Which Tail looks better?

If there are lights on the eliminator setup I like that. If there are no lights.....then that just seems dangerous.

Do you know what kit was used on the eliminator?

Re: Which Tail looks better?

I would love to see it when it is completed. I have been wanting to eliminate my fender as well. I hope you will post pics when it is completed. Looks good. Who made the kit?

Re: Which Tail looks better?

I think your refering to " dog bones" that is what you would use to lower the bike.

Re: Which Tail looks better?

Someone put there front yellow turn signals onto the vents on the tail; I like that.

I would not risk getting "rear ended" for anything especially for style.

Why don't you flash a picture on the new tail?

I've seen those in person in daylight only. I found if difficult to decipher at first; too much in one place.

I doubt it would pass inspection where I go. Is it DOT legal?

Yes it's legal, I quite like it being busy makes people look and concentrate a bit more. Having said that not many get close enough to have a look
