Totally pointless things you've bought for your bike?
 
What have you bought for your ride that you like, that others question?

I don't care if it's $5 or $5000.

Exhaust. Spent ridiculous amount of money on a slip on that basically gives me warm tingly feelings every time I look at it.

Worth every penny!

What equals pointless? Does cool only mean pointless?

Scot 08-31-2009 10:45 PM

I don't think so.

People look at things on my bike and refer to them as pointless all the time.

Open clutch cover to some seems pointless, but it allows the dry clutch to vent. Exhaust isn't just about sound, so not pointless. Rear-sets are adjustable so my toes don't have a possibility of scuffing the ground. Driven Clip-ons are lighter and the bars are cheaper to replace when they get "sharpened." Floating rotors don't just look good... they allow more contact on the rotor regardless of wear on the pads. Magnesium wheels are lighter than the stock. Shall I continue?

I think the only really pointless thing I have had is a cool paint job...

Most pointless thing would be the stomp grip.

I guess it worked till it got hot and came right off, but that's really more of a maybe. Because I can apparently ride the bike without it just as good. What a waste of $40.

Exaust wrap from under the engine to the slip on, so I dont keep melting my heel into the pipe when I shift to the left side on long straights.

I once poght a pair of fuzzy dice, and I hung one from each mirror, that was pretty stupid because the fuzzy dice just bumped into the hand controls and created a possibly dangerous scenario
