Anyone who has seen pics of your bike knows exactly why you feel this way. You own the ANTI-RAT.
There is a small percentage of the population who derive perverse pleasure from deliberately going against the grain. Try not to let it bug you.

True words and good advice. Thanks Terry.

It seems to me that this whole rat thing is an attempt to copy the '50's hot rodders who spent their last dimes on performance upgrades to their old jalopies and had nothing left over for aeshtetics (paint, chrome, etc). They didn't make their rides look rough on purpose. Now we have these newbies in the car world who are purposely making their cars look like crap and it has spilled over into the motorcycle world. It's a cheap immitation of the real thing.
