I was thinking the other night why don't they have a plastic piece just to cover up the chain so that you could take that wheel well plastic thing completely off? Ever seen anything like I am describing?

 

my buddy has a vf 500 and it has a plastic cover that runs all the way down the swingarm and around the sprocket. is that wut you r lookin 4? Wut is the wheel well plastic thingy you are refuring to? All the black plastic under your rear subframe and above your rear tire (your license plate mounts to it)? if so i just took a hot razor blade and cut mine to my desire cuz the factory looks all sorts of nasty an gaudy. looks way better now.

 

Hey Krux...how do you power coat your rims??? I'm always lookin' for some extra power!!

btw, I've sold my F2. I'm picking up a 2002 954 tonight. It needs alot of work...including a new engine. Seeya round the forums!

 

I think he means the rear tire hugger (a lot of f2s have had them removed, mine is painted blue as shown in my avatar pic). Yes, other bikes have a chain guard and no tire hugger... you could prbly find one that will fit at the local bike wrecker or you could just cut off the chain covering piece of the stock tire hugger (hot knife works well as mentioned above).

 

I like the rear hugger as it is stock, makes the swingarm look more modern and less like two unmanly poles holding the tyre.

 

I didn't paint my rim's like most people. Actually did powder coat. Its not suppose to add speed if your trying to sound like a smart ***.


Thanks guys for the idea's. I keep floating stuff around in my head for this bike.

 

I think he's referring to your sig which says "power coated rims"

 

Everything I own is power coated. I picked up a giant tub of it and I just slosh it all over everything I drive.

 

ya...what 994 said...I was just makin' fun of the typo in your sig.
