Default 4 Star Hooligans

Hi all,
My Name is Rocky and I am new here to the forum. I was on Fireblades forum but there seems to be something happening to them cause it keeps telling me there are viruses all over it, so away I went.
I posted as 4 Star Hooligans cause thats the bike club I am in. I was a Ruff Ryder for a few years and then decided to join up with a buddy of mine and become a member in a more family club.
Ok, enough about my club life. I have been riding for the better part of 12 years, and the bike i have now is one of my favorites. A 2002 Honda CBR954RR, Custom Paint, custom grips, spike fairing kit and im waiting for my swing arm to come back. Its got a 10" stretch and is powder coated black to match the frame, and my shorty GP exhaust. Here is a Picture of it. Without the stretch swing arm of course, I'll send those when I install it on my bike.

Welcome man! The 954 has always been one of my favorite bikes. What else have you had over the past 12 years?

Nice bike and welcome.
You may get because of the stretched swingarm or you may not. There seem to be a lot of people who it doesn't appeal to but it's your bike and your money, to each there own as they say. I'm interested how it will look with the stretch so please post more pictures when you get it back and on.

quote You may get burned/roasted because of the stretched swingarm or you may not.
If you like corners a long swingarm isn't a good idea, it'll corner like a bus, but again, it's your money.

Welcome to the asylum...........

Don't feed the locals!

Welcome to the forum. Bike looks sharp. I'd put that swingarm back into tip top twisty shape like Shadow said though.

Bro, I have had quite a few bikes. Started when I was 14 years old. I had a 1994 Suzuki Katana 650 given to me by a buddy of mine so it wouldnt get taken from the cops when he got arrested. Sold that after a few months and got a '96 Katana 750. In '99 I got my first Honda, got a CBR900RR Fireblade and had a lot of fun with it, but crashed it bad. After that I said I won't own a sport bike anymore and had a Harley for a bit, but decided I'm not old enough for a Harley, so bye, bye to that one and got a 2001 Yamaha R1, lowered it and stretched it and had fun with it, I'll post a pic or it right here(if i do it right).

After that I found my 954RR, and have been loving it ever since. But I'm getting older and doing wheelies and stuff is getting to be not my strong point, hence the reason I stretch my bikes. I dont do crazy stretch with 330 rims and all that. TOOO expensive!!! but, my 190 rim and tire is just perfect for me.
