It's like another option under "anything else you don't need" Al lot of after market parts are made just to customise the bike. The Harley guys for example spending a fortune in their bikes and it's still a container with handle bars.
Yes, I see it the same way. On a street bike it's a little bit over done, but different people, different taste, you know. There is a member who got it installed, can't remember his name, but he also posted pictures of it which were looking pretty good.
I like to see the mechanical stuff as well and there are many different clutch cover on the market. Some are very good, some look like from a funfair.
I don't dislike on a sports bike just not sure if its me, kind of reminds me of a washing machine lol
