      I really like the use of the license plate as a chainguard ! I wish I'd thought of that . Nice bike !
      Mind over matter , if you don't mind it doesn't matter

        Nothing special as far as I know, I was asked if I wanted to upgrade to that size and I said yes... They made it happen..

                  IMO, don't stretch it.
                  and the license plate mount does look pretty sweet, i've also seen bikes that had the license plate mounted behind the back wheel.

                      If you are looking for a local shop, try Design Works Motorcycle Shop. They are at 335 New Road, Suite 9 in Princeton Junction right behind A to Z Auto Parts. I know they do custom Harleys, not so sure about sporties though. Give them a call first, 732-329-1800.

                            after looking at your pics, I'm actually with you on stretching it so that the rear of the tire is in line with the rear of the brake light... BUT no farther than that, maybe 4 or 6 inches at the most would probably look pretty slick...

                            my $.02...

                                I hardly noticed your response.... it's inside my quote.... how'd you do that?.....

                                But get that shop to do the stretch, and that month you'll have my vote for KOTM.... Make it an early Christmas in October....


                                But if you go too far with the stretch I'll ask that you be banned from the sight....

                                Cause everytime I see a gsxr600 with the rear tire stretched way beyond the tail of the bike I wanna puke, and go start a fight with the moron who can't see that supersport bikes are not choppers, and shouldn't be molested like that. It also says to me that this person is a giant scaredy cat (spelled with a p an s and a y) cause they can't control the throttle well enough to have command of their bike.... probably one they didn't go get their license for either.... I know it sounds really judgemental and all but for the record, the last guy I saw on a super stretched Gix600 or 750 was actually a white kid/squid... just to take the race card out of my opinion... hopefully no one was thinkin that of me anyway...

                                again my $.02
