Not from a bar end (was footpeg) but my old man still wears a nice scar (divot) on his calf to this day because he slipped @ home just riding this bike down the back yard.

Hi guys,

Isn't this topic "bodywork and bling mods" ocasionally it just seems to be a slaging match if someone voices there opinion on a style of sportbike mod that they like the style of, thought it was an appreciation of mods that you can do to your bike, and an appreciation of motorcycles in general, lets face it we all have a common interest of the motorcycle. :lol:
OK if you have an opinion and you want to get your point across but thought it was a bit harsh Strika, some people on this forum do like the neons, lowering and extended swingarms. :x

Strika i have Neons / LED, Air ride suspension, rear view camera etc etc etc and am in the process of extending the swingarm on my 7.

I think by now most people have voiced there opinion on the topic of these bar ends and fairing bolts and know who likes / dosen't like them and the implications of using them.

Some people like to do trackdays / racing etc
Some like Neons / Air Ride / Turbos and bling mods etc

As i mentioned earlier each to there own. :D

Cheers,

Matt

Some may consider me a "Wanker" for my penchant for corners :? . If so, feel free to call it as you see it. 8) This is a forum, which by definition, is designed to be a mechanism for people to express opinions??? My opinion is that those mods are for wankers. Harsh it may be, but once again, you are not sitting at this end of the keyboard with the benefit of knowing how I would say such a thing. If we were in person, face to face, and you mentioned that you were into neons, extended swingarms and the like, I WOULD most definately, laugh at you and while laughing, say "You Wanker"! :lol: It's my opinion...harsh as it may be........it's honestly how I feel about that sort of stuff :P . But....please......it' doesn't mean I don't like you, and I would say exactly the same thing to my best mate, if he suggested he was to embark on those sorts of mods! :lol: Except, I'd prolly say something like I said to Gos when he suggested fitting Neons ot the MFP12,......"You fucking idiot" I think was what I called him from memory!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: He still talks to me though!! ;)

The sort of mods I like are the ones that involve some craftsmanship. I don't care if it's a chopper, cafe racer or a dumped and stretched hirebus, if it's had some quality custom work put into it I can appreciate what's been done to get it that way....even if that means there's a spike or two on there.

What I don't like is the bolt-on custom's. You know the ones where the owner has basically thrown a whole heap of money at the bike and paid someone else to bolt on as many mods as they can possibly fit, poured a bucket load of the latest crazy paint on it so it looks like a dog's vomited and then try to pass it off as a show bike and expect me to be impressed. Unfortunately I reckon you're going to see more of the fairing spikes and bar ends on this type of bike than the former, so they aren't really my thing.

Plus I've still got the repair on my jacket where a normal bar end hit me in the guts and tore a bit of the leather near the pocket years ago. Wouldn't have been so lucky if it was a spike so I know I'll never put them on my bike.

The Air Suspension system was designed and manufactured by MBP Motorcycle Air Ride Suspension Systems located in Sydney. I am the business owner and designer of MBP Motorcycle air ride suspension, i developed the MBP Twin Chamber air ride suspension system on my ZX7R which i have now sold :cry: but i still do see my old blinged out 7 as the guy who bought it off me is local and comes out regularly on our rides.

I designed the MBP Twin chamber air ride system give a controllable suspension system with adjustable height, preload, rebound and stiffness by the flick of a switch, Yes you can ride the twisties with air ride. I also will have an option that can be added into the system of an adjustable remote reservoir to add to the fine tuning of the suspension in the next few months.
The system can also be optioned up with
Twin compressors
Remote Control
Instant up
Mirror stainless steel cylinder cover

The MBP Twin Chamber kit includes
MBP air ride cylinder with polished aluminium mounts
Viair 95C oil free compressor
Wiring loom (all wiring looms are manufactured to cater for the twin compressor and remote option)
Rubber switch covers (water resistant)
3m of air ride tube
MBP Twin Chamber manifold block (pre wired to loom)
All associated pneumatic fittings
Instruction / maintenance manual
1 year warranty
This system retails for $1,480.00 + GST
Currently customers can purchase direct from me or if prefer your local bike shop they would just need to contact me for an MBP Air Ride Suspension - dealer application.

I sell my MBP systems world wide and have dealers in the USA and UK, i also sponsor a website (hope you don't mind Dave) extremebusa.com
http://www.extremebusa.com/extreme/mbp- ... n-systems/

If you would like to have a closer look at my systems, one of my customers is entered in the East Coast Custom Bike comp at the Gold Coast Bike show this coming weekend. Bike is a 2002 GSXR600 and he will be advertising my systems there.

Cheers,

Matt

Good Luck with the air system Matt . Having seen your old 7 at EC one time , and the attention to detail , I am sure that this system would be just as well thought through . Well done getting it out and into the OS market .

Thanks mate, it was a lot of work to build the 7 and im glad i still get to see it and the new owner takes real good care of it.
MBP Motorcycle Air Suspension is going strong and there are heaps of aussies blinging out there sportbikes these days.

Heres a few pics of the 7 before i sold it.

Please note guys the axle dressup kit for swingarm pivot, front and rear axle, barends, frame sliders etc i machined up are 30 degrees chamfers, went for a more clean look.

Cheers,

Matt
