Question highmounts

just curious why people get highmounts? as a passenger, i think they can be a hassle, almost burning my leg and whatnot. just curious.

Well if you really ride the twisties I would think it gives you a little more room before you are scraping metal.

I'd say it's mostly just for looks. I can definately see it as a pain in the *** for a passenger though....

I just picked up a high mount and put it on last night. I chose mainly for looks, but I also was able to create a crash guard to protect it in case I slid on the right side, which is a big plus. Haven't rode with a passenger, should find out this weekend how uncomfortable or not it is.

That's why you buy Carbon Fiber From MIG. Unlike Yoshi's still hot as crap CF, mine won't get any hotter than you can hold you hand on. Not too mention it looks tight. For looks almost always.

PS-I'm no roadracer so if I'm draggin a stock pipe, 100 bucks say's I'm probably sliding without the bike by then
