Title: Does this look lame ?? Post by: ute on June 30, 2010, 01:50:57 PM So vinyl wrapped the front forks ...but did not like the full black look so i did this .....just not sure if i like it or not
be honest if you think it looks lame cool just wondered what you all thought (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/uterep/Ducati/100_1756.jpg) (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/uterep/Ducati/100_1759.jpg) (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/uterep/Ducati/100_1755.jpg) (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/uterep/Ducati/100_1758.jpg) (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/uterep/Ducati/100_1764.jpg) Title: Re: Does this look lame ??

Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: adamld83 on June 30, 2010, 02:20:35 PM So thats what the slingshot wet clutch cover looks like on an older model monster! Ive got an 06 s2r in red thinking of picking that up down the line...how is the quality of the piece? Are you happy with it? As far as the forks...think it looks good and it matches the color scheme of your bike. Good job.

but for sure its your bike on you have to like it ;) Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: kopfjäger on June 30, 2010, 02:56:21 PM Looks a little busy. ;)

Post by: tuanogus on June 30, 2010, 03:28:17 PM Love the Arrows. Love the belly pan. Not lovin' the vinyl tape on the forks. Not lovin' the red cover. I'll 3rd the "busy" aesthetic. Go all black on the forks or remove all tape.
You've got a subtle black-n-yellow theme emerging and I think you should build on it. With more black and a little more yellow. Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: ute on June 30, 2010, 04:20:29 PM Thanks guys
Thats kinda what i thought ...the all black fork was just too dark for me i will remove the stripe fork vinyl as for color i do have Red clickers on the pazzo's and the cover but the Arrows have yellow and the 998 spring is yellow Quality of the cover is exceptional ...easy install ...nice removable slider....great for covering road rash ...which i had from a low side .....i would recommend this cover Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: Duck-Stew on June 30, 2010, 04:35:11 PM I actually don't mind it!
Lame? No. Kick-ass? No. Different? [thumbsup] My $.02: The red clutch cover thingy has GOT to either get it's color changed or go back to Ebay. It destroys the look of the rest of the bike IMO. Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: Pasta Bobber on June 30, 2010, 05:20:43 PM any pics of the forks when they were all black?
Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: danaid on June 30, 2010, 05:49:31 PM I wouldn't go so far as calling it lame, just different, for your taste.
Man I love the look of those Arrow cans. Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: RAT900 on June 30, 2010, 07:12:18 PM doesn't strike me one way or another...
that said,, I generally lean toward "form-must-serve-function" on the other hand though,, I DO like your smiling crankcase inspection cover...what/where/how is that about? Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: Mojo S2R on June 30, 2010, 08:42:07 PM Not lame, just different. Bike looks good. Did make me think of these though:
(http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn408/SweeneyTodd235/Faeries%20and%20Stockings/striped_stockings_by_darkhorse1202.jpg) Prior to everyone wrapping their forks in vinyl I wrapped mine with athletic tape. I didn't completely cover the forks either. I think it kind of gave them an old school fork protector sleeve look. (http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv270/drkmojo/Moto%20April%202010/DSC00548.jpg?t=1277965755) I've recently decided to go ahead and fully wrap the forks using 3M Dry Carbon. It's a vinyl wrap that has the look and feel of Dry Carbon Fiber Weave. Title: Re: Does this look lame ??

For some reason, looks old school...don't ask me why. Looks good. [thumbsup]

Post by: ute on July 01, 2010, 12:55:02 PM The crankcover is also a nice well made piece also have there sticker on the tank under the Ducati word
this has a shout out to those guys at Indiana Hooligans for the first MotoGp ...they made us all feel so welcome there ...plus it looks cool no pics of the full black ...just it looked mega "Dark" ..which looks cool ..but not for me Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: erichan8757 on July 01, 2010, 06:36:47 PM well:! just to be honest I did not expect this type of wrapping lol
but it turns out not bad. but I would wrap the top portion as the large bar portion sort of bothering me great looking S2R btw. Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: corey on July 02, 2010, 02:27:39 AM i think your bike would look better with silver forks, and black TRIPLE CLAMPS.
good looking bike mate! Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: Bones on July 02, 2010, 02:54:08 AM I can't say I like it or dislike it: just different but it doesn't matter.
it's what you like. who gives a f$%K what us a-holes think. do what makes you feel good. [beer] Title: Re: Does this look lame ?? Post by: Dents on July 02, 2010, 04:07:27 AM I think I like it. It only works for me because the forks are silver. I'd leave it and see what you think in a couple of weeks. The clutch may be what's throwing off the forks. thats the first thing i would try changing.

Post by: erichan8757 on July 02, 2010, 09:08:19 AM wait, what were we talking about... fake carbon fiber film that looks like carbon fiber stuff but not feel like onebut I've seen it in person, the finish is quite delicate |
