today i got in my rim and tire, i went to a 98 F3 rim (wider) with a 180 tire...
i know i know too wide of tire..... no handling..... blah blah blah ,,,,i like it!

but the rims went out to get powdercoated in graphite grey (polishing them sucks)along with the 10" extended swingarm and the rear pegs... i will post up more pics when i get the rims back....
now the strip needs to open so i can put down some times!!![:@]

 

I wouldn't worry about the tire size. Extending it kills the handling also. Mid as well go big so you can get traction.

 

another update on the bike...

bought the F3 one-piece tail and seat
got the F3 rear rim and 180 tire on it.
painted the rear sprocket nuts anodized blue
front brake rotor screws blue
rearsets blue with black pegs
polished the swingarm and visible frame
-1/ +2 sprockets
blue neons
didthe rims done (they were black)
chrome levers and bar ends
front brake resv. cap blue
red bull on the rear susp. resv.

that should pretty much sum it up, the fairing are still out being painted and the swingarm ext. is on hold untill the paint gets done. and i am making a truly custom chaingaurd so there will be more to come!!

Looking Great. Did u clearcoat where you polished the frame? Just wondering about the rust factor. The blue peg brackets look nice. Powder or anodized? Can't wait to see the new paint. what color and design are you going with? Or is it a suprise?

 

no i didnt clear it, mines aluminum.. the blue is duplicolor metal cast blue anodize.. i will give you a sneak peek at the paint job...

That paint job looks like $hit... wonder what loser did that. Just kidding bud. I do like the blue you put on. Oh and by the way I changed the paint from blue to a nice hot pink (your fiance told me you like pink) haha. JK I will be done soon.

 

LOL...[sm=funnypostabove.gif]..

if anyone wants painting talk to him.. he does great work!!!! just better not be pink..[:@].

 

Im thinking about putting a nice and big PINK flower on each side. Did you get my PM?
