Just FYI, polls don't work...lol...one of the quirks of CBRF (where's our upgrade[:@])

as for the question...i don't like it...that being said, if it's for a show piece, it's okay...you are doing it for looks....
if you drag, i can also understand it and its cool...

sooo, what i am trying to say is if you are doing it to actually ride the bike on the street, it's dumb...it messes up turning radius, affects handling, etc....but if you are doing it as a show bike for competitions, go for it (not street practical)...

if you are doing because you drag, it's also fine because it's very practical...

the yuks that do on their busa so they can cruise in front of the bars are true squids...have a purpose behind what you are doing, especially considering it messes with the handling so much

On the street IMO it looks stupid. On a drag strip its ok.

Theres no real functionality for it unless your on the drags, and who cares about going in a straight line fast. We all know our bikes are fast.

If someone else does it to their bike who cares. Don't judge what ain't really your business.
