These cannot get any more illegal.
The bike is a Honda Sh125i and we've been modding it for a while, but we're only half way:
Rims and "pegs" black. Galfer front brake disc, pads and braided hoses.
Front headlight is a metal blue something. Position lights are the same. All blinkers have been changed to orange which look chromed when they're off.
Soon to come is:
Galfer caliper
Leovince exhaust
J.Costa variator
Tyres and suspension
MAYBE big bore kit but the exhaust and variator make quite a big difference.
We'd like to get him a chrome front grill but I haven't found any...any ideas?

I hope you've fitted a switch to the blue lights.

They're pretty bright too, they'll come down hard if they're spotted.

You can't switch them off! That's the point they're the position lights. They're completely white when turned off so I have no idea how they work. The good thing is you can't see them at all from more than 15-20m even in the dark. Strange stuff.

I hope he does get done.

Funny coloured lights just look shit IMO, and blue ones catch the corner of my eye when riding, taking my attention away from what I should be doing. Just attention seeking gay little mod, for those with zero taste 'look at me, I have put something shit on my bike.'

Cock.

Aye, wass the point? Nearly as bad- and pointless/ tasteless- as a 1.2l corsa on blingin' 17" alloys with neons and a "sick" bodykit. Chrome look indicators? how tacky can ya get lad!

Well...The bike is all jet black with silver and some white...The orange didn't look right, and for 5 quiddies it was more than worth it. They're very subtle under the plastic covers. I also think the front is TOO blue. The headlight is nice xenon style. Just a slight tinge...

You can get clear or smoked indicators with orange bulbs; or you can for cars anyway. That'd look far less tacky.

Honestly, you can't see them as chrome at all. They are more silver smoked. I'll get more pics tomorrow

I love people who put crap like this on their car/bike, you instantly know their a wanker and to keep well away from them......that also goes double for the dickheads who put "Max Power" stickers in their car windows Rolling Eyes

I hate the blue lights as well, you see them in the distance and then you find yourself constantly checking on where they are, they are so distracting. Like the new headlights on cars, you see them in your mirror and as they move closer to you they appear to change colour, or is it just me?

I know it's chavvy for most of you, but here there are 2 types of tuning. Chavvy and nice. This (apart from the lights) would be on the nice side. Everything has been well done so the bike really looks mint. Can't say that for the last bike he had. 4timescrashed piaggio typhoon with 70cc malossi, 18m carb, filter, polini variator, arrow exhaust, neon Shocked No lights working whatsoever apart from the headlight. Black gaffa tape holding the shithole together. It was truly mingin

I think I may have seen your mate this morning!

Totally standard orange/red coloured Ford KA... modded with HUGE exhaust and wide wheels. Why would you? Sick

Overtook him very quickly and put him out of sight... (on my XR) Wink

Chavs don't go for a "chav" look opposed to "nice" look. They go for what they deem as "nice" and "well done", which looks remarkably similar to that monstrosity. Rolling Eyes

Off-topic a bit, but I saw a yellow Suzuki Ignis ( the 5 door one ) with a full body kit, alloys, tinted windows and a MASSIVE spoiler. It's a 1.3 Suzuki granny wagon. Why even spend money on decent tyres for it?

I must admit to being not enough in know to distinguish between 'nice' mods and 'chavvy' mods, all looks tragic to me, but then I doubt there interested in impressing a miserable old fucker like me anyway.

I really hate modified cars. IMO better off spending the £3000 they get ripped off for on a newer, more reliable car. I`m a sucker for plain cars....Bikes on the other hand. thats different Cool

Sorry for the double post,

but also when I see a Modified car go past i simple think 'Twat'. But when a nice Bike goes past, I can`t help but leave a small deposit in my pants.....Is this just me?

End of rant.

my Honda manual calls the little diddy bulb in the middle of my headlight cluster a "postition light". Confused

That may be so but at least we wear some-thing else other than a t-shirt when we play. Shocked
Did you get arrested for exposure? Mr. Green
