After seeing some of the gixxers on this site I'm pretty hyped about the upcoming riding season. I got some good advice on which undertail to get and perhaps exaust. What I really hate is I can't find shops online that would chrome out my bike. I'd love to do all kinds of things to it that you would find at shows. I didn't get a chance to attend, I'm always at work lol. Anyways, if there is anyone that could post a website, I'd appreciate it..


thanks http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif

Try http://www.cyclesportctr.com/ . One of the owners , Dang , has lots of experience with chrome .

Dave took the words right out of my mouth.

Have a look at the yellow pages. There's some good shops out there, try talking to some car guys(resto car guys) about shops also. There used to be a shop near me(scarborough) that did a great job for 1/2 the price of the others. Sorry I can't remember there name.

Well I for one can say that Dang and George at No.1 cycle sport centre are great guys .. have great prices and do what they can to get things done right. They have never once screwed me around or anything .. and I know the bike that you are talking about .. saying they claimed that they did.. well they never claimed they did it because I was there when they put it on there sight .. they just put it up to show what can be done .. Look at dang's bike which he did do himself .. every piece is custom on it and worth quite abit .. if you are here to bash someone .. do it to someone that deserves it ..

If they are rip off's why would they give me these boots for 150 tax in .. canadian.. they list for more then that ???

As far as those No.1 Cycle Sport...blah blah blah guys are concerned..I wouldn't trust them..The 'owner' Dang is 'not the sharpest pencil in the box'!. They stole pictures off of Greggscustoms.com and said that, that bike was one they did up!!!! Then when they were confronted about it, they changed their story...I've riden with most of the guys that hang out at that shop, and I'd definitely NOT send any work their way.....For a process like chroming - goto a reputable shop, not some Mickey-mouse guys who are new to the industry.



These guys are friends of mine. If you have riden with most of the guys that hang there, then we must have met. I don't think they would take credit for someone else's work. As far as "Mickey Mouse guys who are new to the industry " George( the other "owner" as you call them) has been working on bikes for years just his shop is new. If you don't think they know what they are doing than you have not seen Dang's bike lately, and I don't think someone who" does'nt know what they are doing" can get 180 rwhp from an R1 ( thats reliable hp) I would not think twice about sending people his way. He does excellent work for a fair price. So I recomend people check them out for yourself instead of letting someone with a personal beef sway you.

Cause that's how much the boots are worth! And i was actually speaking about the chroming process...You should goto someone who's been in that business for years..

if my parents funded me, i could get 180hp out of my gixxer too! Paying someone else to do work, or bolting on parts does not mean 'you know what you're doing'

.

Hey since you're such good friends with Dang, maybe you could ask him, or whoever it is at that shop, to stop sending me threatening emails!! They're getting kinda annoying!
Thanks!



Just so you know, it is not Dang's bike that puts out the 180 hp. Its George's bike that does, he's the one who does all the major bike work there. What does it matter where the money comes from, thats not the issue here, the issue is you throwing around personal insults that have nothing to do with the original question asked. If you think your guy is better, fine, just don't start insulting people.
As far as the Emails go, I know nothing about it. But what did you expect when you discredit a persons livelihood.

not sure why its bold face.

You chopped part of a tag when you did the quote, I fuxed it.

But this has gone far enough, no one is really getting anything useful anymore, so i am closing this. http://www.wonderful.ch/smilies/alarm.gif
