Indeed it is, I saw that stuff awhile back and there is no way that any of it will get near my bike, short of maybe a seat at some point down the line. This is just my opinion and others may like it and that is fine to each his own, but to me it totally destoys what the Raider is. However after I saw that I did send them an idea, that if they were to make a couple diffrent front fenders for the Raider they may get quite a few takers. If you would be interested in one you may drop them a line and tell them as well, just like at VH there are strength in numbers.
