Got the forks swapped!!
 

Finally got those non-matching-the-wheels gold forks off and the bike's look is now complete! The pics are a bit dark, I'll get new ones up tomorrow.

Here's an angle of the mid pipe I had put on to eliminate the cat:

looks a lot better

looks good bro... I'm with Tigger... rattle can your exhaust black... shit would look sick as fuck.

I'm not even gonna waste my time with the stock exhaust. It'll be gone soon enough.

Powdercoat those pegs after you get that exhaust changed out, too.

I'm not powder coating something that will eventually be off the bike.

Looks way better.

Rearsets and exhaust and be done.

yeah leave them if your gonna just get rear sets... probably get a decent amount on Egay for them.

I liked the gold better. The whole black out thing has been beat to death. A little accent sets the bike off IMO.

Accents are great when they all match and are done right, but when your accent pieces don't match, the whole thing looks like crap.

I'm glad you kept the wheels though, I think they look good on the black bike! I can take or leave the gold forks, looks good with the black too and since that's what you like then it's a good swap!!

Now that the forks match the paint, rather than mismatched gold shades, it looks 100% better. I'd rock it.

Blow me! It's almost impossible to find gold pieces that match perfectly...you can think my bike looks like "crap" if you want but I really wanted to follow a theme at the time...Nyahh nyahh nyahh!

Tig your bike looks good! the only thing I'd swap out are the gold parts with black ones... :2cents: doesn't make it look like shit though

Aw thanks,Ebbs. Yea I have black rearsets already but buying the chain adjusters,chain,tri-metal sprocket,levers,forks,etc just to please you bastards doesn't really appeal to me for some reason....

that bike would look even sicker IMO if you had the wheels powdercoated the same blue as the rest of the theme. WHite wheels look good too, but that blue would look sweet.

You really think so? Hmmm...I'd probably go paint instead of powdercoat talk about color matching problems.... How about doing the spoke area in blue and the rim in white?

Any combo of the blue and white down there would look pretty sweet. Would totally bring out the NC scheme too.

Maybe,that blue is fucking hott for sure! BTW how'd you like that so called game yesterday in Detroit?

it was over 1 minute and 30 seconds in... lol



theres always next year :)

Spoken like a true Lions fan! Of course, it sucks that you've had to say that shit for oh almost two fucking decades now,yeesh!

It helps that I have been a hockey fan first and foremost my whole life!

The only good times with the Lions in my lifetime were the days of Barry.

:lol: fair enough... I like the chain adjusters and gp stand hooks...:dthumb:

don't lean much old man:whistle:

Actually,the tires were new when I took that pic AND I get off the bike enough so that I don't have to scrape the pegs to get around a corner! Of course,you're right at my age and considering the amount of damage I'm carrying,I don't chase the limits of grip like I used to. I'm happy with double posted limit these days... Besides,"Sonny" come see me when you can ride your bike down the street WITHOUT hitting parked cars!:dthumb:

:zowned::zowned::zowned::zowned: ohhh shit I knew I was walking ok running into that one:lol::lol:

Believe me man, I'm not hating, your bike is gorgeous. If you saw mine right now (or any pics that were taken in the last 6 months) I'm sure you wouldn't think too highly of it. She's a rideable work in progress. But like fine wine, all good things come in time.

And as far as accents go, if your bike is one color and one color only, then accents that don't match just look cheesy and thrown together.

:drool: Looks AMAZING, man... seriously beautiful.

oh yeah Dlit bike looks good

Looks good brother.

I'm sorry my brother from another mother! Your bike does look great! Are you going to change the caliper too?

Definatly looks sharp man. Stealth is the way to go.

Thanks everyone.

wheres the daylight pics?

That turned out really nice. :dthumb:

Nice.........I felt the same way about the gold forks on the 03-04 636, they looked like crap against the silver frame. Silver and gold just don't go together IMO.

Looks damn nice man.

I got riding pics. I gotta wait for a buddy to upload 'em.

The bike looks really good with the fork swap! :dthumb:

Looks good man.

Looks much better.

But you should see if your buddy will swap cailpers with you. The gold pots in yours are ugly and that gold doesn't match the wheels, either. My bike and your buddys bike have silver pots in the calipers. Go for those and your shit will be tits.

Also why is there so much fork sticking out of your triples? Mine are flush with the triple... the R6 is twitchy enough as it is, I wouldn't drop it... if anything I might raise my triple about 5mm, one racer told me he did that and it helped...

Maybe yours is a bit different though? :idk:

The fork tubes are longer on the '09s, that's why they're sticking through. They all come like that from the factory. The handling on the '09s is better than '06.

:rockout:

Forks look better, but not feeling the gold wheels.

Good thing it's not your bike then.

Pissy much?

DLIT's a straight shooter. He doesn't sugar coat anything, he tells it like it is, get used to it.

Nothing wrong with that. But there's a difference to being a straight shooter and taking a simple "not really my thing" comment so seriously. LOL

Sensitive much?

Only during a certain time of the month.

He doesn't sugar coat anything cause he's afraid he'll get sugar in his mangina and it will give him a rash... don't mind him!

If that doesn't work... don't worry he'll offer to kill you!

just be glad he didn't offer ya a bag of dicks... he hands them out like candy at Halloween

Wicked funny. :td:

I'll bet T-Rock is first in line?

:lol: Even the new folks know hes a queer.

:rofl:

sorry Trock... but that's fuck'n funny.

Signature material right there :lmao:

:rofl:

These CF folks catch on quick.

There's a few of us 'tell it like it is' guys on this forum... DLIT is one of them... One of these days we'll all get together and I'm pretty sure we'll tell 3/4 of you fucks to fuckoff.

You guys ready to climb off DLITs balls yet or what?

That and we'll kill a shitload of booze.

You are easily amused.

this thread was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. :lol:

It's the CF influence. Happened all the time over there.
