@Chris Howard posted:I like the look of no bumpers but driving one in Dallas without them, a rear bumper at least, would scare the hell out of me. Our insurance rates are high for a reason 😩. Of course with all the yeehaw lifted pickups and giant SUVs here, it’s your back glass they’re going to contact first.
The "bumpers" on most replicas aren't going to do much in a rear-end collision. They're made of fiberglass with no reenforcement.
They're 4 wheeled motorcycles, and we'd all do well to remember.
