I am looking for some leg shield bars for my 2016 GTV 300. I found two different types the first one being a style made by Falco. This one does not require any drilling done to the vespa but calls for some additional modification to the bar so we can be secured to the Vespa. The second type is made by All Styles it looks different but it still looks cool but it requires to hold that must be drilled into the scooter. In your opinion should I drill these two holes? I have attached a picture of the all styles bar.

You would likely affect the resale value (or sell-ability) of your bike if you drilled holes. Some people (myself included) don't like chrome add-ons, so I'd be put off a bike that came with holes that weren't meant to be there.

Each to his own though

Better to modify the bar than drill the Vespa, in my opinion...

I wouldn't drill holes but that's just me.
