Yeah no doubt on the chrome shops...Luckily I have a good polisher and chromer...They get it done right...but yeah,I usually strip everything down as much as possibble just to keep the cost down...It make a real difference. Those guys don't do anything for free!(boom07)xelderx said:

why not chrome it out? if he wants to show it ... he said he had another bike to ride so im guessing this one is just kinda like a show / toy ...
in my opinion chrome looks great on sportbikes ... if its done right

Because you want it....Damn man...its a bike,its mine,and thats how I wanted it. Actually though....I have slightly changed direction with the bike and I am not sure if I am gonna chrome it or not this year. I want to stunt a little and I would hate to trash some nice,new expensive chrome.Not to mention I am trying my hand at painting for the first time with this project...
On a good note, I got the bike on the road today for the first time and she rode out nice....although it was sporting NO Gear except the gas tank....Straight stripped right now. And I also picked up my new compressor tonight to get it plumbed in for the new paint job to come....The next couple of weeks should be fun. I was hoping to have this done already but school is taking a lot more of my time than I expected....and since its more important,this will just have to wait. It's getting done...little by little.

?? chroming things weakens its integrity ... stunters dont chrome things because they beat the s*** out of bikes and chrome falls apart under the pressure ... they do alot of polishing but no chroming ...
glad to hear you got it on the road how does it run?
what i meant was if he plans on stunting then he doesnt care about it being fast or handling well, its all for looks and doing 5mph wheelies. i personally think that stuff is silly and funny. sport bikes are meant to be taken to tracks, to the mtns, and riden hard. stunting is just a waste of a nice machine in my opinion. but to each his own i guess
Little update...
I havent done a whole to this but I am still collecting parts. Its comepletely bodyless now and I finally got it all straightened out and back on the road this weekend.
It rides pretty nice....I will be happy when I get the time to paint it and put it all back together.I was trying to play with some stoppies while its bodyless..but couldn't quite get the ass up yet...Gimme a few more trips out...I'll get it up!

I actually used two upper fairing to make the reapair to this one...Cut out the damaged area and put it back together with a good section.
