I'm doing a drag style build and I don't think that bike is that nice. So Joe, maybe not is my vote. Hell, I think Larry's bike is a fucking lot nicer looking than that one.

Heard em called cooling fins and also engine covers.Have a set on my KZ cause 1. Im old, and 2. I like em.I am going to have them powdercoated black however cause my engine is all polished out and I need some contrast.bj
