Let's just say Chain hasn't given up modding.

In fact, he may end up becoming a customizer some day. I can't say I like the way this one looks in the back, but he has definitely made it his own.

Sarge's SV bobber! (not 56K friendly)

if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. so.....

I like the ohlins shock and the Suzuki rear hugger.

I like the LED blinker mods.

Mojave954 · 09-24-2006, 9:43 PM

I like the hooligan, street fighter look. Put some lights on it and make it a patrol vehicle.

MisterMohawk · 09-24-2006, 10:01 PM

Congratulations on a job well done. Whether the looks appeal to people or not a good fab/mod is admirable.

OSIRIS · 09-24-2006, 10:17 PM

It's definitely unique but I like the black one in that thread much better. Chain's would look just as nice with a small bit of plastic on the rear rather than just a metal box under the seat and that's it.

I think it's kinda cool. Bet it's a blast anyway. Only thing I don't like is the welds on the fabbed subframe.

I thought you were going to take that Jake Zemke Superbike Sponsor Suckup School?

Yes, the welding definitely doesn't measure up to the rest of the work.

Don't particularly like it, but I don't like black frames either, so what do I know . . .

I guess he's nixed the idea of taking his bride for 2up tours.

So how did you go from returning your bike to stock, selling it and buying a V-Strom to hacking the sh!t out of it? http://forum.svrider.com/Smileys/classic/grin.gif

I'm impulsive about my bikes.

I may sell this thing next week. Or keep it five years. Dunno. Pretty much run with whatever strikes me.

Right now though, I'm having a blast with it.

Really?

Good excuse for a new bike?

Chain's a good guy. A little lost perhaps, but a good guy. I wish him well and hope he's having a blast.

HondaGalToo · 09-25-2006, 10:52 AM

Wow, he couldn't follow his "less modding, more riding" mantra!

Like we ever thought he could! He's taken it to a whole new level now! It's not bad, I think I like the Swedish one with a bit of plastic on the back of the seat, but it's definitely different, and cool. Guess that explains why we haven't seen much of him here. I miss him!

The tail on that black one looks a lot like the tail on the 800cc Honda MotoGP bike.

RRWANTR · 09-25-2006, 11:07 AM

Holy!!!! I like the front end a lot but the rear.....
Chain couldn't face the ribbing he'd take here for his modding so he's left...shame. He was a good read.

I'm LMFAO at the fact that he said he liked the "stack of dimes" look. He's obviously never seen a real "roll of dimes" weld because that **** looks like bubble gum.

I don't think he will buy a blast ever though, that hasn't made any of his lists.
