Sorry... polishing what? :confused:

I'm glad he got the swingarm extensions to deal with all the extra HP the chrome gave the bike.

I think the title of the thread should actually be: Do you want a bike with that chrome, sir?

Good to see he's wearing his uber-protective muscle shirt, that should be useful for anything under 2 miles an hour :facepalm:

Comes with a free M-16.....

I think the only thing he spent polishing a lot of was in his trousers....

Why oh why.. :weird::no:To be fair, I think the same thing when I see people riding shitty bikes like Bandits :rolleyes:

Bandit or chromed R1, no contest there... even covered in chrome it'll still run rings around it.

I see he adjusted the rear preload for the pillion...

You'd need a good pair of white boots to go with such a mean looking bike IMHO :shutup:

Seriously for a moment ... if you extend the swingarm as he appears to have done, how much does that affect the handling?

It'll fuck the weight distribution, widen the turning circle, more travel on the rear wheel with a lower spring rate and lower valving might lead to some interesting bump effects, probably do something to the turn in and mid corner stability too. But you'll be able to get a mean launch off the line :bleh:

So it's a fine idea as long as you don't want to go around corners?

There's videos of people lapping tracks ok with extended swingarms, so it can't completely f them up. Wouldn't be my first choice but....

Nah man, that's about 4000-6000 hours of cruising town. It's had heaps of use!
