I removed the padding on my 05 because I liked the look. After awhile I started thinking of safety concerns. Then I pulled them out of storage, found some cloth paint, and went to town. They look good as new.
To those chastising him because of a safety concern think that through. If you hit your head on the pavement hard enough to leave more than a painful bump what injury do you think that helmet will actually prevent?
Do you really believe the padding is equivalent to a carefully engineered helmet? Because a helmet, preferrably one that is DOT approved, is what is required there.FIFY. Think slowly if you need to.
so is yours removed or are you removing it?FWIW I'm not getting rid of the padding on my bars because I hate getting unnecessary knots on my head. But I'm also not fooling myself into thinking the padding is going to save my life or prevent spending the rest of my days living in a beanbag chair.
No, I'm not removing it.so is yours removed or are you removing it?

From the helmet manufacturers site:
"Protection is cool. Concussions, bleedings or worse scenarios are not."
It does, I was glad he put it on. It was a very smart idea.That looks like the one Chris was wearing on Rock Pile.
Let's just say I have some experience with roll bars collapsing and hard doors bending over into the top of the head. Concussion and compression fractures and taking along time to heal. I choose my path, others may not like it, but it's my path.I just want to drag @John Cooper back in here because I don't want the Nancy's to turn their attention on to me.

I’ve been getting into Jeeps for the better part of 35 plus yearsTo each his own. Hit your head on that unpadded bar and you could turn a fender bender into a fatality.
