And i'm sure they improve balance, especially if i DO carry a surfboard or whatnot. But it's the look i'm really after.....they just scream custom don't they !

Thatch'll like that the very first photo in the slideshow is of a Triumph with wrapped pipes 
Though, I might get one and weld a basket to it so my German Shepherd can go riding with me... cheaper than a sidecar

Good thinking , our shep would love that - a ride out with the Bird and my doggy.
this setup would also save putting the stand down - just pull up and and get off

I don't know Daz, first you talk about getting rear ended then you're bringing up your penis in conversation. I'm wondering if there might be more to this story.
