Leave it stock but always give your passengers a tambourine! [laugh]

Personally I just like the way other drivers at intersections and pedestrians stare at it and wonder if it's about to blow up.

the reasons for it are supposed to be functional.
cooler as in not hot
cleaner as in no dust buildup

BUT it is cool as in I want it. course my wet clutch would be a mess.

It's definitely something to look at when its open. It spins differently when its in gear vs idle.

more noise
better cooling
potentially more debris entering
moisture/rain entering

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

There's the joy of dropping it on the clutch side while it's running and it lands on your leg. This is not to be underrated.


Of course, it ain't broke......

That is by default the coolest 848 around. The dry clutch is the only major thing missing from that bike. Are you sure that's not a 1098 with 848 stickers on it?

Positive. That kit has been out for over a year.

That is a better looking conversion than Duc Stews 750 conversion. I was impressed with his but this looks factory.
