I like the black too have always been a big fan of black, If you look the front rack is bent, but it still hold things... I might take it off and just have the back but im not sure. also has anyone added more lights to the front or back I just got some nice tractor lights for free and was thinking about wiring them up to the headlight switch but didn't know what it would look like. Also do the "cages" really serve a purpose I saw a picture when them off and loved it but couldnt figure out how to make it as clean as the pic i saw. Any ideas?
