U would love to do a polished look but dont you have to clean it often?

 

Honestly, no, I don't like polished or chrome-plated swingarms, too "blingy" for me. I know this may sound contradictory, since I've got some items polished!
I mentioned it somewhere, but don't remember where or when, but the truth is, with the stator cover and OEM rearsets I polished, the only reason I did that, was so that they would sell, 'cuz so many people seem to like bling crap... if I had known I was going to keep them, I would have powder-coated them black!

Anyway, on the cleanin' bit, I wouldn't say it requires any more work than any other shiny surface, really.

 

Looking good. I like the red tank. Polished is better then chrome.... Although if I had to, black chrome does seem to have a certain allure to it....

 

what about a black metallic!? its either black or polished, or wait for winter to do chrome, which is 2 hours away, but I would take several other parts I guess.


I am very undecided for future mods, though I do want to do something to that rear end, whether it be a sssa conversion, 240 rear tire, 1000rr swingarm (or something alike). I know some will trash my bike, but hey I like stretched & dropped bikes, though I do plan on getting a 1000rr or r1 next year which won't be lowered or anything like that (more of carbon fiber parts and stuff). Well other than that just cruising around on my f2. (:



This is the team I hang out with guys, High torque racing, sponsored by L&F distributors, so mostly all the bike are wrapped in vinyl with beer logos. My bike wasnt painted yet though.

 

Some people may trash your bike, but it's yours man. Ride and build what you like. If you don't, you won't enjoy it. I personally enjoy looking at just about all motorcycle builds. I know lowered and stretched, chrome plating, wide tire bikes aren't made for the track. The guys that build them know that also. They build them cause they want to and they enjoy the cruising. No worries, it's their bike, their money, and their business. Just send pics and details, that's all I request. Oh and ride it man

 

Thanks man, I dont even like those big big fat tires in the back though, haha a 240 is just a thought I cant get through yet. I as well appreciate any bike no matter the looks. Well I will see what I'll make my mind up with. I really like the sssa but no stretch

 

i lowered my bike finally and got it painted. looks cool for a F2. ill post pics when i can. have a question though, would heat wrap around the headers through up till my shorty exhaust eliminate any header nosie? sounds like my headers are loose or rusted or SOMETHING idk. if i can add a video i will as well

 

Haven't posted in a while, dont think I'm not riding though. lol

Since I last posted, I have replaced the dogbone to the original, so went back to stock height in the rear, reason is fairings would scrape with passengers since the bike was too low.

 

Another one back from the dead! Where ya' been Ed?!?
