1150 back end cleanup

[dorkburger]

Thankfully, ive never been bothered about my license plate since doing it 14 years ago. Admittedly, i dont get out nearly as much as id like. maybe 1000 miles or so a year...(BOOOO). i always wonder how the sportbike guys get away with stuffing the plate waaaay under the tail, and how cruiser guys get away with the sideways plate down low. Or maybe they dont.....Personally, i cant afford the price of being "cool".

still looks ugly
the back of those bikes (gsxr's of that era too) are big and blocky. not the most elegant a$$ end,
hacking away at it and chopping up the stock pieces doesn't really make it look any better.
removing the the fender accentuates the giant blocky arse.

One must admit gs1150s are no petite things. Especially the es models. I dont mind the big square rear end. It sort of matches the giant fairing and headlight. A plus size machine to be sure, but I dig it anyway. It reminds me of the bike version of driving an old full size big block musclecar.
