Guest Scootre Guests Posted 01/02/04 09:01 AM Share Posted 01/02/04 09:01 AM Good question. I've been thinking it was there to hide mounting points for the front bar.It tends to blend in on my Lightning Strike 6T so doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it could have been designed better. where it curves it looks bloody stupid!~ but I tend not to look there, it's depressing looking at the flaking intercooler! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it curves is what makes it look stupid, I think if you paited it it would be even more noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
