    Wow, the new one looks 100x better. My biggest disdain for the TL stems from the bulbous tail. The bike looks great now!

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    I'm going to go against the grain, usually I like the less is more, but for some reason the way it was done up initially in the very top photo looks great. And the bottom pic of the new version is also compelling. I'm going 51% 49% old/new.

    Either way it's a great bike, did you get a steering damper for that thing, they need it bad.

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    i prefer me some smaller humps. anything more than a handfulls a waste...

    bigger ones are fun, but smaller looks better in the long run.

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    The small one LOOKS better, but the taller hump might WORK better. I dunno shit about the bike (or bikes in general, even mine), but if it has vicious power and you use it, don't ya need the taller tail to keep ya square on the bike?

    you fail at comparison photos. you should show it from the same angle.

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    In those two photos I actually like the old one more. If the new hump was painted body color it may look better though. Tough to tell.

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    Its a TL, gotta stick with the Original baby! Sleek doesn't fit that bike...other than the fact that its a bitch to throw your leg over, I bet its looks bad-ass when you're tucked in. Gotta maintain your aerodynamic profile!

    I put a scotts damper on, bought mounts for my gixxah as well so I can transfer it for track days.

    Re: Which hump looks better!

    I like the 'sleek' of the new one. But being a TL elitist, I still think the old hump looks much better...

    The new hump is from Pyramid in England. I've still got the old one as well as a pillion seat so I can change it up, ninja style..... The Powerbronze hugger(abs) that was on there spider cracked all over the place so I replaced it with a fiberglass one and had the little hump painted black at the same time. It seemed like red would have been a little too much as I might have my spare wheels pc'ed red this summer.....
