Hey. That is the best reason I have seen posted here. Here in the States I think it is nothing less than a fore runner of the stupid grip fringe thing. Any think that is not needed to make a motorcycle run down the road is not necessary. JMDAO.:TEXASSome guys, her in Spain, tie them backwards, just over the license plate in an attempt to obscure it when they pass too fast along a speed radar or traffic cameras. Not a good idea because the traffic patrols fine them when they see such way
Back in the day they were used to tie the parts back on that rattled loose and had fallen or were getting ready to fall off.
