I think it will look better without it but if it helps you move the bike around then I would leave it on. Who cares what other people think if it helps avoid dropping it.
I'm cursed with short limbs.... and that strap is a big help.I'm going to see if i can get used to moving the bike without it and leave it on for now..... I'm useless with out my strap on..... lol
I have been wanting to say that ever since you posted Ash, but I didn't want to sound like the old perv that I am lmao. Ash and a strap on ! I am getting overheated.
