Oh it wasn't "chromed out" Just had chrome rims,footpegs,and one or two other small parts. I'm not a big fan of chrome...besides,I could have bought stock pegs and parts for cheap on EBay. It really doesn't matter as I kept my bike and ordered all the parts to fix it for *drum roll*

1. complete body kit $600 shipped
2. radiator $150 shipped
3. forks $130 shipped
4. exhaust $26 shipped(stock headers)
5. fan $35 shipped
6. headlight $39 shipped

Basically I have less than $1000 involved so far! I rode the bike yesterday for 20 miles or so and it feels ok. I'm starting to regret ordering the forks but since I haven't ridden it hard,I can't be sure that the forks are ok. I hope so since my original forks were modded by Race Tech and professionally set-up for me,so I can't just replace one and go about my business...

Oh and a lot of people will give me crap for the race bike look alike theme but I was planing to repaint bike bike this winter anyway,so I figured it would be a fun look for the Fall.

It'd be cool if you could find some old skool Suzuki colors. Like the Smoking Joes for the Honda's.

But I love the race replica kits.

yea, im goin the replica route w/ new skin. Its something you dont see a lot. although you also dont see a lot of yellow cbrs...

IM stuck between 3 sets though, the movistar replics, west replicas, and a simple white and black set...

I like the race rep look usually.... I say usually cause I have seen an old Rossi Rep Honda that was stretched and slammed.... chromed out frame and pegs... ect... looked like shit.
