alright good.. one more thing. opinions: should i go chrome or black sliders on the bike? it is a 04 model with black paint with the silver honda wings on the tank area.. which would look better?

 

^^ Depends...

If you like bling, and plan on adding other chrome accesories, go chrome.
If you're notchroming out the bike, go black, the chrome by itself will probablyclash with the not as shiny silver of the swingarm, and the wing

 

If you want them to do their job properly, get some good hard plastic or delrin sliders. These materials will actually slide when the bike goes down and minimize damage by dissipating energy. Metal pucks will more than likely bounce and can cause more damage. If you're likesome people here (ahem! chavers)and only care about "looks" go for what you think looks good, regardless of functionality. Personally I hate chrome on sport bikes.

 

Just remember, every piece of chrome cause the bike to loss 5 hp[:@] ...[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Just stop trying to speak for me and everyone else for that matter.

 

Don't worry, your dumbass speaks for itself...or are you too slow to remember what you said just a few days ago?

[sm=owned.gif] I'm done with you, you're not worthy to speak to me.

 

Dragonium25 was actually dead-on with his advice...............so cool it bro. And dragonium took a friendly jab at you (which we all do on here....I've taken many jabs myself), so try to lighten up just a bit.

But to answer aaron1085......I would personally go with black. You really don't want to attract attention to frame sliders. Also, your frame sliders will actually stick out of the fairings on the lower part of the black wing (which is black), so I would go with flat black myself.

 

once again, excellent answer Blue Fox. thanks

 

.........oops.

Okay, on MY bike, the Honda wings are black........on your's, they're silver. (my mistake!) Since they would stick out where your silver wing is, you could possibly paint them a matte-silver color, but I would still personally go with flat black.

 

I'm with Fox, everyone on here has taken jabs, I've taken a few myself. It's a Forum, and 99.9% of the time, when people "jab" at you, it's for a good reason, they're really just trying to help you out. As far as the slider question goes, I admit, I have a few chrome pieces on my bike. NOTE: a few, not alot, lol. Just the slider pucks, bar ends, chainguard, and spools. I wasn't trying to go for the bling look, just trying to add a lil touch to it, w/o going overboard like some people with their frames and 10" stretched swingarms. Everybody has his/her own style, BUT...if all you care aboutare looks, then you should go out and buy an antique to sit in your living room, or a Picasso painting to hang on your wall, NOT a bike! And if you do want a bike, and looks, then go out and buy a Harley, or a VTX, or build a chopper, not a sportbike. Sportbikes are made for "having fun". Hitting up some twisties, getting lost out in the middle of BFE looking for more twisties (like I did!) lol, going to track days...oh, btw, about my chrome parts, I've sold the pucks, spools, and bar ends...still trying to get rid of the other chrome parts, why? Well...I don't think that I went overboard. I had just enough on it to make it look better, BUT...first of all, it was a bitch to keep clean!, you can buy the best brand, and it's still going to "dull" out, and you have to keep polishing the chrome parts to keep them looking good. Way too much of a hassle! lol...The reason why I sold the chrome parts is because I ordered the same parts in black. I still have the chainguard, etc., on my bike, and am going to throw the OEM chainguard back on when I get home tomorrow afternoon from my birthday dinner. Yes, it's my birthday my fellow Forum members! Anyways...even though I liked the chrome, I personally think that black is much better for a bike!
