Yeah, well... I hadn't seen anything of the sorts on the site so I thought I'd throw it out there.

How thick is that glass? Seems like they wouldn't be too safe.

I believe it's lexan. If it's not it better be made of a very durable compound.

Must be for show only. Brake dust would terrible. Seems like cooling would be an issue on spirited drives.

This is where the term, "trailer queen" came from.

I first saw these at a show and thought they just wanted to show off their brake setups, then I saw them at more shows. Thought I'd post them. They would get so dirty.

I think they look pretty sweet. For a trailer queen. Obviously a show only product.

they look decent on some sport bikes (and they also make a lot more sense because you can easily clean both sides). this was the original...
