in my constant pursuit of finding plastic crap on my bike thats not needed, today i removed those goofy looking batman plastic things on my front forks where the seals are. not sure of the purpose, but they had to go. forks look much cleaner and meaner. looking at the forward belt cover thing next.

PICTURES please !

Those batwing plastic things are fork protectors from flying stones off vehicles ahead of you. if the fork gets nicked, it will end up leaking- thus expensive repair!

I did that a while ago, and have to agree. It looks alot better.

i wanna see pics... and that belt cover i think i will leave mine alone... the dealer was telling me that the belt cost like 1300 bucks... so i would really hate to have something get in there and cut it... that was suck

I really love the look of the fork protector removal.
Makes the forks look longer and clean.......2 years
with it off and 16,000 miles

+1...as well a the belt protector.... Some folks are lucky nd may never hav the need for them....but.... heaven forbid something does fly that way....ur basically financially fukked!

 

[goodwell163]

maybe you can just trim them up and they will still protect some

all my other m/c's do not have a "guard" on the forks, and never had anything happen. it looks so much better w/ them gone. even give illusion of an inch or so to lenght of forks.
as far as pictures, i am having an issue posting, always says too big. im a total f**cking idiot w/ my computer. never had this problem on my other forums. if someone can help on this...much appreciated.

Go to photobucket.com and get an account. It's free. Then upload your pics to that. Then you just copy the image code listed under the pic and paste it into your reply. I use this for all my forums I'm a part of. Makes it very easy to post pics in multiple forums.
