Nice! Take it a little further, and get Lenin's mug die cut in black, and slap it on there somewhere. Get that good ol' Soviet Propaganda machine rollin!

i think yellow is the only color that goes nice with red...
not too many choices on a red bike.

You should remove the reflector from the front hugger. Otherwise, nice bike mate.

Is there just a nut or bolt holding that reflector on??? I need to remove mine as well. :o

turn the reflector counter clockwise... it's just screwed in there. you'll be left with an ugly looking bolt... you can find a nice one identical to the lower fork fender bolt under your passenger seat... just swap the ugly bolt out with the one from under the seat. :)

Those reflectors are pretty ugly, removing them makes the bike look so much cleaner.

I kind of like having some reflectors on my bike. I want cages to see me at night, even if it doesn't look as cool.

Same thing with my rear fender. It's one more reflector (+less water on my back/luggage if I get caught in the rain)

BtW, that's a nice looking bike!

True, you are sacrificing visibility at night. But if you have reflective rim tape, you should be sweet.

I have the reflective rim tape I have no use for mine. I am considering mounting small foglights there. Has anyone tried that?

I like the concept of the red star and CCCP. My recommendation is to go big! englarge that CCCP decal and plaster it across the lower cowl and it will make a bigger impact. If your going to make a statement with the soviet symbol...don't be shy, go all the way (is it retro to go commi these days?). I would also get a matching red helmet and plaster that soviet symbol on both sides while your at it :-)

With the economic hardship hitting your state MI pretty hard, capitalism is getting a bad rap...second time around is the charm for the reds? Viva revolution!....just kidding

Nice bike:thumbup:.

Ha ha thats funny kkim, when I removed my reflector I went over my bike looking for a nicer bolt and found the ones on my seat. Great minds think alike:)
