If you can afford ALL the rubber it looks like you are going to go through at the track.......By ALL means GO FOR IT. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

Nice work on the front tire! Way to scrub it out! You may want to shop for some track day tires.....Putting rubber on the machine really cuts into the beer fund.

Well i was going to keep it flamed for awhile, but i dropped it infront of my house. It will stay half and half for awhile, but it will be all flat black, i dont really care much for looks, like someone said its how it rides. This year im going to be putting a set of rear sets, vortex clip-ons, full exhaust system and a powercommander.

Yeah teh track eats tires like nothing, but whatever its worth it..lol Has anyone tried the Diablo Supercorsa's? is there much difference between the Dragon Supercorsa and those??

I love the flat black look, very cool. Doesn't do much for visibility, but what can you do? Did you do it yourself or get someone to do it? How hard is it to paint the plastics?

I just sanded it with 180 then 600, primed it, and then 3 or 4 coats with a couple spray cans, and it came out amazing, no runs what so ever, just take your time spraying it, very easy to do.

looks alot better in flat black, need to paint it all that color. Not a fan of the flame job.
