Sounds alot like a what if ... What could happen if you do this.. I dont get it People that have to act like there opion or in there mine wisdom try to say something that makes them sound like such a ***. if you think its so unsafe for you then dont do it ..Ill worry about the kid or passing car that a driver leans out and might grab it or some other dumass thing that might happen .

Some people like fancy paint, some like chrome, some like stitched seats, some like white wall tires, some like blacked out engines, etc etc etc.
To each his own.
Amen... Its all about what works for you not anyone else...

Not sure you quite understand the meaning of my statement. There are lots of new riders on this forum and just because you want to be "Cool" it should be pointed out that hanging decorations on a bike can have consequences.

"A slung shot has been defined as a weight, as a stone or a piece of metal, fastened to a short strap, chain, or the like, and used as a weapon and is prohibited by California Penal Code §12020."


They are not illegal to own. If you use it as a weapon then it is prohibited by code.
A pencil isnt illegal to own but if you shove it through the ear into the brain its a deadly weapon. If you say it comes up once a week why the wrong response?

A guy who was making them out of Bakersfield, CA. suggested not to run them until johnny law figures out what he wants.
I couldn't find his blog again, but here's a older writeup about them
http://blondiesblog-hrmm.blogspot.co...ly-weapon.html
Get Back Whips Considered Deadly Weapon

For some time now, law enforcement in San Bernardino, Riverside and other CA Counties have been citing biker’s for having a deadly weapon in their possession. A gun? No…. A Knife? No… Then what? And not only have biker’s been stopped, but arrests have been made and the bikes impounded.
