Bean mate, I love studying your garage pictures, all kinds of interesting stuff going on in the background. Looks like you pulled the motor out of your wifes car.

I like the pic above. The white wheels bring your theme together. Also agree No blue and red stickers.

Speaking of wives, Romans where's those pics of the little ladies ZX-6R with the new fairings on there?

I had a MagKnight on my '06, Rook. It did a great job protecting the bike's tank... however, my magnetic tank bag kicked the MagKnight's ass!

Rook the only problem with the fender eliminator or short pipe on a 14 is it makes our god awfull big ass tail on the bike look even bigger.

That's the reality of it. Unless you're the type that only rides the bike for an hour on the weekends and stares at it the rest it'll be a lot of work, IMO. Black is the best way to go for wheels.

I believe you, edge. I have this feeling that I am going to regret it, but I think this pic I have been working on looks so cool with the white rims---I think I have to do it. I have black rims on the busa and you are right---I never touched them for a whole year and they still looked fine unless you looked really close.

If you were 17 years old I'd say go for it but since you're not I'd say lose it.

Nobody knows I'm not 17 yeas old when I;m riding. One of my fondest memories of riding was taking a cruise down the local drag on a hot saturday night. I had a carload of teenage girls all screaming and waving out the windows at me. I never regretted wearing a helmet yet. Safegurds your mellon and youe ego, in some cases.

I think the sticker makes your butt look fat...

Damn, I really better not...

I love the tail on the 14....Tell me any of those skinnyazzed literbikes have a better tail than our 14....and let us not forget the stunning backside on that busa.

I do like the white wheels tho....

makes the bike look lighter I think

The white fins look good in the pic. I'm no fan of decals either. Anywhere. One reason I bought my Area P cans was I didn't have to have labels attached. My bike isn't a message board.
Not sure I like the white wheels but to each their own. I think the wheels look better when they add some flash. I think chrome is too much. I decided to have mine done a combo of polishing and powdercoating. Polish the outer rim areas and outer edge of the spokes and gloss black everything else. You still add some shine but the center/harder to reach areas don't need re-polishing after awhile.

Just to add about the white wheels, I wonder how they'll look with just normal dirt and whatever getting on them. You'd be surprised how much of a film of stuff gets on the wheels from brake pad dust, chain lube and normal road dirt. Happens pretty fast too.
