Do you really mean April?

Sounds like I won't be taking any pics for this POTM. :lol:

Whoops.

Yeah, but that's not why I won't be taking pics for it. I don't have any non-functional mods. Hell, I don't even have any mods right now. :lol:

Now's as good a time as any to get to it.

Man, I have so many mods but I think that they all have some "function"...:idk: They aren't all necessary of course, hmmm

I couldnt use pics of my ohlins kit but could I take a pic of the stickers :lol:

You could take a picture of your cars taillights

would a 15' swing arm qualify? cause there are a billion of those floating around down here :lol:


I seriously don't know if I have any non functional mods to my bike...

I got this, non functional mods... Pics to follow. So just to clarify, a pic of the wife on the bike counts as non functional right?

Is it really that hard?


Stickers, too many sliders, extended swingarms for street bikes, chrome anything, blacked out windscreen, painted wheels, "replica" paintjobs, I mean... "nonfunctional mods" meaning you don't need it to ride but you have it anyway. :bash::idk:

So my bike...:lol:
Be right back...

i actually have a pic for this thing...

for the record, aint no chicken strips on my shit!!

Yeah, I was thinking you meant to be anything cosmetic, for the most part. Again, none on my bike cause I haven't modded it at all. :lol: I will be doing some minor mods soon, but they all have a function (gel seat, GPS mount, throttle lock, "trunk", etc. :D )

What you meant to say is "powdercoated frames". :rockwoot:

I'll snap a pic just for your contest in a day or so. :D

hmmm, might be able to do something with this...

Yup, a Buell fits this month...

:poke:

I actually wasn't trying to single you out, however your thread about your new chain adjusters and all the axle sliders just happened to be what I was reading at the time I had to come up with something.


I know this is actually a petty theme, I just get tired of seeing the same boring HiDef pics of stock bikes.

*BTW not sure what the Shock/Swingarm closeup picture denotes, and quite the contrary none of that looks unnecessary.

Bike came with yellow steel spring. I wanted a blue one....:lol:

thats truly the heart of this theme lol
but i gotta say, your sweet ass bike is pretty fucking dirty, go clean that shit and take new pics :p

Tigger, pick one goddamn picture or I will pick it for you.

what is that under the tail above the plate? Are those LED's?

Yes, I got them at K Mart along with the tail lights for my car...:lol:

Oh okay...

what do they do? Just shine blue?

The rider

nah, the round lights are turning signals and the line of leds are running/ brake lights.

Still a Buell though. :(

And still a billion times cooler than any R6 on the road.

That is actually pretty neat.

Thanks, I got the under tail from Canada when I got tired of the CF one I had.

actually I was thinking any mod that wouldn't have any effect on the ride... stickers, leds, fur... lol...

swing arms... windscreens do have a function... :idk:

pretty sure that mod on my bike has been more functional than 90% on this forum...

Just because yourboyfriend says you have more functions then a swiss army knife does not mean you can boast about ur skills lol

Especially those windscreens you can't see through? Ok :idk:

Extended swingarms are not necessary on streetbikes. Unless for whatever reason you drag race every where.

You need to come to NYC then, squids here deem them necessary :lol:

That still doesn't mean you are functional. I would say you are wrong on the percentage given a lot of the CF people have a lot of skill.

And it was a joke, so don't get your panties in a wad or we will have to make you an honorary ginger.

I will bring some krylon to the rally and we will spray paint him :rockwoot:

I have some glow in the dark spray paint.

:lol:

If that bike is running 8s* with a stock swingarm, then extended ones are for looks.

*it does

hahaha
yea right.

Local guy here runs in the 8's on his busa with a stock swing arm.

not my point
i edited for clarity

8's on a stock armed bike is quite do-able im well aware of that lol
but, add three inches and he'll go quicker, all things being the same. there arent any low 7 second bikes with stock length swingarms. probably a reason for that ;)

Ah misunderstood your post. Gotcha.

Okay, here's my submission: I'm pointing to my "Craziest Non-Functional Motorcycle Modification"

:lol: (I was trying not to laugh when I took this :lol:)

Reading Comprehension FTW... I said FUNCTIONAL not Quality... or Skill.

I've probably ridden more lately than 90% of the people on the board (25,000 miles in 13 months). never said I was more talented or skilled never will...

and if you'd have read it correctly... you'd see that my reply was a joke too.

functional - capable of operating

That was the joke, I was making fun of you because you are incapable of operating a motorcycle. If you want to get into the butthurt definitions of operating, yes operating could involve something as simple starting it up or going to the store or as my joke was refering to capable of operating the motorcycle to the limit which would mean to a high level of skill. Capable of operating doesn't specify a quantity of usage.

It's official you're ginger.

s/n name change time

Ebbs= Princess Ginger

eBBs had a bad day... :(

I sort of have a submission for this contest...Here is my GPS mounting bracket. It's non-functional because I don't have a GPS yet! :lol:
