The "beak" is aerodynamically designed to direct air to the oil coolers. This purposeful design should not be tampered with!

I've only had my beak-bike for a month now but am falling in love with this machine and getting nothing but compliments on the looks. The Harley has set for 3 weeks now, I better fire it up and charge the battery!!!

Soooooooo, without the "beak" what do you call it? the freak? the geek? No offense, but the beak does act as an airfoil for the oil coolers. :shock:

The beak is also there for aerodynamic down force.

Without it you'd be popping wheelies all over the place.. :D
