It's a little thick for my taste.. if you trimmed it down, made it more streamlined I would love it.

But the paint looks good, and if you like it, it's your bike.

I dunno bout QL.. but man, I'd slap Hillary Duff's butt! Wait.. is she legal yet? Her sister's hot too!!



Oh yeah, on topic.. I agree, it's big.. like the guy who put the SRAD tail on his bike.. I would never ride his bike.. but your bike, and if you like it, then awesome! If you made a lower, more streamlined one, I'd be paypalling you the cash right now to make me one! :laugh:
