I really love the way you guys finished off your swingarms.  Now, I really want to do mine too.  Is that paint or powdercoat?  How much did that run?

Oh, and about that rear hugger - I say go CF (sorry, I'm a carbonoholic  [cheeky])

I had mine powdercoated a few years ago, and it was $100.

The color is not an exact match, but close enough for me.  ;D

Yes Mine was ~ $100 and I bought another one so I didn't have to wait with the bike apart...

( btw thats leads into the shameless plug, Does anyone want to buy trhe one I took off? say $500 - $600 with  pc)

yes on both, but you need a red rear hugger

Why plastic up a nekid bike?  ;D  That's what I love about the SSSA, is the open wheel.

P.S - the modding can NEVER go to far.  Next step, ti bolt kits and a carbon tank.

if that's the idea, then why have a front fairing, rear seat cowl, the side panels and the front fender?
ok i'll give you the front fender for keeping the bike clean sake.  ;D

Yeahhhhh, about the fender..... it's sommmewhere in the garage.  Probably in a box with my side panels, "wind screen" and rear cowl.  I see the merit in decorative junk (i'm soooooooooo close to looking into a belly pan), I just can't handle rear huggers.

I don't like them either, and I ran about 25,000 miles without one.  Downside is that it ruined the appearance of my shock.  :-\

Road Racing aluminum rear fender:





Ran for some time without one, then had one of the supports for my solo seat break and it got me to thinking about what it would be like to have my a$$ greet a moving rear tire, ha- ha!


(guess my bike could be considered solid proof that modding can go too far by some folks - I'm not sure I would disagree!)
