Default Live to ride, ride to live emblems, yes or no?
Just curious, Are these emblems still in style, Live to ride, ride to live emblems?
I like em but if it's something out of style for today, I'll shy away from them.
I do admit they look cool mixed with the chrome on my bike.

Looked at a ’22 FLT today with those badges on all the covers. I think they were popular when I bought my first HD in 1985 new.
They weren’t my preference then, and they haven’t grown on me since, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Your bike, your ride.

Decorate it however you want, just don't mix and match different themes................

It's something the 17 year old me would have worn on a tee-shirt. 36 year old me wouldn't touch it.

In my opinion, that is a time gone by.
I put the "Live to Ride, Ride to Live" in the category of the big number one decal on the bike. Personally, I associate both with the Evo era.
There are some who will disagree most probably.

If I found a decent derby cover for my 3 hole FXR, I would probably buy it for cheap anyway.
It fits the Evo era for sure, and it has two little ones on the brake calipers when I bought it.
