Without me going to the shop, I was looking for someone with a reasonable price and as a friend of the gixxer.com to install simple parts in for me because im not mentally mechanical incline.

What kinda parts??

Both tires, sprockets, and slip-on and a few others accessories.

They gave me a pretty good deal down at Speedlimit. They changed my rear sprocket, the chain, swapped my wheels from another set had to change the rear tire and made me a spare key. All for 200 they also checked the brakes to while they were at it.

Hey, do you know how to paint? Trying to paint my rims

pm me for what you need bro. I do side work also!!!

Best thing to do to you rims is to powder coat them. Theres a place in Alsip called LOKO Performance Coating they do rims for about 75 a piece. The great thing with powder coating is that it wont flake off. Im gonna get my frame powder coated black by them later in the year

where is LOKO performance DJ? I wanted to paint them yellow with gel coated or is powerded coat better

its in Alsip on 111th its in between central and cicero but closer to central.. I think powder coating is better. go there one time and check it out. they have a bunch of stuff done. it wont wear down.

Damn, that bike looks good!!! Hey, do you also have a rear hugger on it? yeah, I always go up there to speedlimit, it just that labor cost is a mug-fug. I finally went down there today (sunday) just to see where it was at. At first I did not see it until I made a U turn and realize I had passed it up. I would probably check them out around 1 oclock.

i finally check out Lo-Ko performance and they do sound promising. DJ, do these people take off your tires and replace them or do they already have to be taken off? If so, do they take off the tire while painting? If so, my reason for these questions, are for me to put me new tires on at no charge or a little of nothing.......


BTW, what happened to OPP

My friend use to work there. The tires have to be taken off. Shit i just sold a set a rims for 300. White ones i could have sold them to you so you can have them done instead. Im not sure you might want to ask Mike i think thats his name the owner. They might do it for you but i know they dont balance them.

When they powder coat, what they do is charge the metel with electricity and the spray it with powder paint. then it adheres to it and thats it. Not sure how they get the gloss finish though.

My rear cowl flew off today sucks. Have to find a yellow one now.

Its was a nice day today huh? Thats messed up that you lost your seat cowl, im guessing you were on the expressway right? The only thing for me now is finding someone to take off these tires. I wish they have a school or something for me to attend to to learn some simply motorcycle - mechanical stuff that DOES NOT COST an ARM & LEG to take...holla back

I also want to get my rims powdercoated, I used to go to Richards H.S. over on 106th and Cemtral so it shouldn't be hard to find that shop u were talking about D.Jay......also I have 2 new Dunlop 207 tires front and back the rear is a 180/55 they came off a 2002 750 they are new. if you guy in the chicago area know of anyone that is interested let me know.

Who toasted Fornarelli's a bunch of years back? They did good work, and he gave me a 750 motor for free because my girlfriend shook het gigantic chi-chis in his face. Good deal I think.
