and that's a stretched & chromed GSXR!!!

Damn it Ken! I told you just to change my F*&$#*% oil!!!

Play on playa!

Down w/the White Rimes - Old School Giggy Style

So people actually come in and want this done to their bike?

Awful.

I'd rock the fuck outta that thing - Dug by Bug

I agree, the white rims look good on it. Personally I could do without the stretch and bling on this.

Seriously?


It looks like a cheap throw-together. The only thing chrome on it is the swingarm, if the wheels or frame were chrome it would at least look somewhat matching, now it just looks ridiculous. I like the look of the white wheels, but nothing about this bike from the frame back looks right.


Not to say that Chicago Performance doesn't do quality work, I'm just questioning the owner's taste.

lower that bitch.

Yup!! - You ever ride a stretched bike before? - Twist that fucker hard and the front stays and your arms get torn from the sockets - Hell of a good time - I dig the bike for sure and I admire the wrench time too

The color scheme does not go with the chrome at all.

+1

I was totally on board...until the swingarm.

it was like...yeah I dig it...then the eyeline went to the swingarm and I had a WTF moment.

wats wit the slip-on.

Looks lowered to me.

You got the bonus plan!

Fo sheezy!

Normally on this type of job I think chrome would look better, but white does add some pop when they are clean.

Yes.



Then it would be a stock bike. (except for the black painted body parts we added)

The rearsets are chrome also. Yeah I would have preferred chrome wheels at least but the owner makes the calls.

Fuckin A right. She sits way too high like this.

Thanks Bug, and yeah stretched bikes are a different kind of fun for sure. Not for everybody though.

Agreed, normally darker colors look better with chrome.

We gots more where that came from.

Uh, whatchu mean?

Nope, stock height unfortunately.

That would look way better with a powder coated swingarm, + should be lowered more.

Yep that's what I would have done too.

Is that a weld on swing arm ext? Looks damn clean, can't even see the welds.

Yep. We weld it, smooth it, and chrome over it so you can't even see the joint.

How much more does that up the price of labor? Strange i haven't seen many bikes smoothed out like that. Even show ones at the ims.

Nothing. That is the way WE always have done them.

Fucking ghetto ass mofo yo!

Don't you need to change your Depends old man?

I can't walk to the bathroom, I just soak in them until my nurse comes.

Yeah they're nice and warm at first, then when they get cold I usually try to go again to warm them up again.

Needs more angled valve stems.

Just from a welder's standpoint..what OTHER way is there to do it? Do people weld it..then NOT do any grinding/buffing on the weld and just leave the bead? Then paint over it so you can see the bead? That would seem to me to be a "shoddy" type and CP's way would be the "correct" way to do it.

-Eric

Yep most others (though there aren't many shops that do this type of work) will do just that and leave the bead unfinished. Looks MUCH better like this, and that is always included in our pricing.
