Safety
You need to create every advantage you can nowadays to avoid being run over, years ago motorcycles were the only vehicles with the headlight on all the time and people noticed us, now almost every vehicle made comes with daytime running lights. When you have a long whip from IronBraid hanging from your lever blowing in the breeze you attract attention and catch the eye of other drivers. The Get Back Whips will fan out while riding and will not slap the rider or passenger. The panic snap is commonly used in the horse field to release an out of control horse.
Whip History
Today the whips are used for aesthetic reasons only but like most things they have a history of their own. Back in the day, these leather whips were usually made with the 1% bike club colors, besides showing off their club colors the whips could be quickly released and used "in case of emergency" to swing at anything that was causing a threat to the biker, hence the name "Get Back Whip". Panic Snaps fits over all levers regardless if you have Leather Lever Covers or not.
Length
Whip length is measured from the top of the clip to the end of the fringe. Fringe is 11" & Panic Snap is 4-1/2" Long.
