does your trike need to look complete?

does not having a headlight, grab bar etc on your trike drive you nuts? my 200s I sold recently, I installed a china ebay light just to make it look complete. I've got 2 200x trikes. 1 has headlight, tail light etc
the 2nd one should be a beater trike but it I think it just needs a headlight.
is that weird? I guess I just like decent looking trikes, not a restoration, just complete. jim

well just to make it look right, 192 bucks for a ebay headlight assembly including the bracket, cage and harness.
sometimes I just shake my head but it's more complete. jim

I like mine to look complete too. The lights don't have to work, just be there.

I agree with you but I tend to be more particular about things like having the all guides on the front brake hose. Or proper cable routing . I like the shift and brake levers to be straight and set to the proper height, etc. We all have our quirks I suppose.

I ripped my KLT around the yard for months with no headlight and no rear fenders, but it looks a ton better with the fenders on, even if they're cracked and painted. I put an LED bar on for a headlight and cut up the beat up headlight shroud to fit around it, looks better the more stuff I put back on the bike to me. I like a beater for doing beater stuff but even just making the bike all one color goes a long way to making a beater look less like a POS. My TRX200 is a no body work POS and that's probably why it sits in the back yard with flat tires and a dead battery, it's hard to get motivated to work on something that ugly.
