Cut down radiator shrouds...stability!

[bayoubikebruiser]

I cut down my radiator shrouds suspecting a 4-stroke with a fan that never comes on doesn't need them as much as a screamin' 35mph 2 stroke does. I wanted to get the bike slimmer in the wind and lose some of the high speed "shimmy" I thought they were causing.

I was right. It worked to reduce the top end shimmy with no annoying radiator fan to punish me for a hot running mod. I think it looks better than the Jimmy Durrante nose....HA..chachachaaaaa!!!!

Looks a bit leaner with the shrouds cut down. Nice job
