It takes things just that little bit too far, and that can be fun sometimes. And I've always thought a chrome helmet would be a hoot. Title: Re: Chrome anyone? Post by: junior varsity on October 15, 2011, 06:33:37 PM I like the DP/DPM bits
Title: Re: Chrome anyone? Post by: Duc Buz on October 15, 2011, 06:41:08 PM Always liked the Road Racing exhuast, and that's a nice spin on it. Still a bit over the top.
Title: Re: Chrome anyone? Post by: jvax on October 15, 2011, 07:32:52 PM A bit too much? A bit too far?

Title: Re: Chrome anyone? Post by: DanTheMan on October 16, 2011, 10:55:35 PM Finish the job, forks, shock, slave, and remove the shell advanced oil sticker.
Title: Re: Chrome anyone? Post by: thought on October 17, 2011, 10:30:36 AM i sort of like them because:

Post by: Drunken Monkey on October 19, 2011, 05:23:17 PM I approve of these bikes ;D
