Meanwhile the FZ is the same size as that SV, which means it's just normal sized :lol:

I'm thinking that's a Lightning Low. Look how far the forks go down on the front fender, a standard Lightning would be the same as my Firebolt.

 

[R13]

You can see on the polished part of the forks that the Lightning has half the suspension travel as your bolt.

I wanna ride one just to see how different it is. :lol:

I have to tiptoe on both feet on my bike, or flatfoot just the left while on the rear brake :rolf: But I think it would probably be too low with the SCG suspension.

 

[R13]

I wanna ride one just so it looks like I'm riding a vtwin swapped grom :rolf:

Such a fucking stupid build :lol:

Even the 899 panigale just seems to me like it would be way more fun.

Got a free $20 amazon gift card so I'm gonna order a blingy ass cheap screw on cap to replace that fucking leaky snap cap that doesn't sit flush on the F4.

The more flashy shit I put on it the better chance I have at ripping some chode off :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Meanwhile, something like that for my bike....

 

[R13]

:lol:

That one looks machined, anodized, and etched, plus it comes with the bolts. Pretty sure the blackpath is just cheap ass machine work, and blasted with cheap powdercoat.

I mean it comes with a fucking bottle opener ffs :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Probably just really cheap paint. The logo looks like it would rub off with minimal effort :lol:

 

[R13]

The CCT from them was anodized and I tried rubbing the logo off to no success so maybe it's worth $25. :lol:

I'm gonna take the tank off and start prepping it for paint in a few minutes. Gonna see if I can rattle can it then polish it to a nice shine.

If not then I'll go metallic gray and polish that because it doesn't show shitty dull finishes as much :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Inb4 "I never got around to it"

 

[R13]

Oh I'll get the tank off :lol:

But will I get around to painting it? :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Doubt it.
