What do you want it for mate - looks, weight loss etc. Aren't CB's like £800+? Better off buying a bigger turbo IMO

Plus if it got damaged you would cry (i know i would)

Bit of both mate looks and weight. More for looks tbh.

They are quite expensive

Third that. they do look pants on the inside. But then think of the excess weight your sticking on doing that. could affect your 1/4 mile times.

Maybe stick some mirrors in the mouldings....
