You know what would really balance that top box out visually?   A nice beak….

It’s floppy because it doesn’t belong there. Remove that atrocity at once. 

This, a million times. These silly-ass beaks are just embarrassing.  Marketed by those who want you to believe the Tracer is somehow a mini-GS bike, and you can ride off-road, too, after installing a beak.  🙄    Please.

To each their own, what-ev's,  just know these goofy things look ridiculous on your road machine.

At least 2021 owners won't be doing this clown addition due to their headlight location.

I dunno…  to me, the headlights present some interesting beaking opportunities:

I respectfully disagree... the front end looks incomplete with the horn hanging beneath the headlights. The beak helps.

...but to each their own.

@Heli ATP - what did you do to your horn? did you add another? or replace it with an aftermarket?

The stock horn was to puny sounding so on ebay I purchased a  'Set of 2 New Horn 12V Tone Loud for Motorcycle'

$13 for the set and they are a huge improvement. Initially I installed Hella Super loud set but there were too large with the beak. I may find a better bracket that will allow me to go back to the Hella's later, as I color coordinated them and all.

To me my bike looks goofy without a beak and I'm under no impression it's a adv bike.No need for such a dumb a##  comment.

That's what I thought.  Must be just off the showroom floor.
