Not my style, but I think it looks pretty good. Maybe if it were powder coated black it wouldn't be so obvious. Then again, maybe that's what your looking for. It sure makes for easy access to things
The bike is well executed regardless of how people view the style. I like my R3R just the way it is. But if I had a money tree in my backyard I would build another Rocket in a similar fashion. I think it looks great.
