It's your bike & your back/shoulders/wrists.

Do what you want with it.

If other people don't like it F*** 'em.

I had to go with a flat bar conversion due to getting older with neck problems. It's better than selling the bike for a more upright riding position was my opinion.
If you keep the original parts so it can be put back to original spec more or less than I can't see a problem, well apart from Lloydie coming over of course :wink: :lol:

if you keep the blue one for posing and short willy waving trips then the yellow one can be for proper trips, then keep it looking sexy with clip-ons..... infact make it lower
