cut plastics; beak or no beak?

i've planned on running a beak since i bought my LTR, but the more i look at pictures on here and my own bike with cut plastics... i am having second thoughts. and by no beak i mean no headlight either.

what do you prefer the look of?

I run a beak and have since I bought the bike but I do like the look of it without a beak too. I think I am equal between both. Def make sure to protect the electronics if you don't run a beak.

it is hard to choose isnt it i just ordered a beak and i am putting it on just because i spent the money but my plastics arent cut and i cant decide if i am going to cut them or not but i bought a used one on here for 30 bucks shipped so its not that big of an investment

look at my winter build i have a beak and i love it on there. i dont like the stubby plastics without the beak and the headlight was too big so i went with one.

yeah i personally don't care for no headlight or beak with uncut or barely cut plastic, but the way i cut mine i kinda have come to like the proportions.

i dunno, i probably will run one. pretty even split on the pole so far tho!

i am 100% for the beak or the headlight.... i hate how they look without anything there and your electronics are just chillin right there in the open to get hhit
