twism2's 08

I purchased the bike in October of '07 and trailered it back to my shop thinking I was going to do some minor mods; wheels, exhaust, rearsets, etc...then I got to really liking the 240 rearends and emailed McCoys about a swingarm and wheel deal; Bart called me personally to get something set-up. I seen a pic of a swingarm from C & S and asked Bart if they could build me one of those; he wasn't sure but he'd see what they would do; few days go by and he said they would; I gave the green light for the 300 single sided from C & S and the rest is a much longer story... Yes I know I took the "sport" out of sportbike; Dad is already impressed:crash but this is just me: -more pics added to page 2, page 4 and 5; RAIN 2008 R1 -C & S 300mm single sided swingarm-chromed -Cyko racing Chrome Cykotic with black inserts -Metzler 300 rear tire -DynoJet PCIII -Graves Full SS exhaust with carbon cans-fully polished -Graves frame sliders -Graves adjustable rearsets-chromed -Graves smog plates -St Machine Levers; Grips; Bar Ends and Riser Covers -Clear alternatives smoked taillight -Polished and chromed gas cap -Chromed passenger pegs -Puig windscreen -Angel eyes -Greggs customs sidemarkers -Speedlink lowering link -Debadged I think that's it:crash if I forgot anything I'll go back and add it! Will be updating as soon as my inserts get painted for the wheels and I add little things to the bike:thumbup I owe a big thank you to Bart and Mike at McCoy Motorsports for all my endless phone calls you guys are the best; I also owe a big thank you to Carlos Avelar of House of Finishes for all the chroming and polishing wouldn't have made it look half as good with out ya bro and working out the deal with Taige at Graves Motorsports for the one of a kind exhaust; Big thanks to Pat and Stan at ST machine for the great accessories and excellent service; Jason at C & S; Larry at Cyko wheels for the sickest wheels out there unspeakable quality and customer service; Taige at Graves Motorsports; and Frank at Clear Alternatives and everyone for their support and everyone doubting me that I would finish it:crash

I for one am impressed! Im in the market for a 240 tire kit but it seem that the 04-06 model has to be custom made for some reason. Anywho, great job. All of your time, money and effort went to a good cause in my book!!!

Nice job

sweet looking bike...just curious as to how that puig wind screen is working out for ya. i have yet to buy a black DB for my 08 that fits perfectly thanks bro; was worried about the fit too and i'm pretty anal:confused: but it actually fits pretty dang well; was worried i was going to have to tint the stocker but the puig fits:thumbup

Bike looks sweet dog!! Am doing somthing close to it but am going with the 240 instead of the 300. swingarm is coming from C&S and am getting it threw McCoys aswell. Order my stuff over 2 months ago now but still waiting on the swingarm to be completed which is taking alot longer that I was told at the start. Did they take long with your swingarm also?

Bike looks sweet dog!! Did they take long with your swingarm also? thanks man:thumbup; it took a while; because i wanted the single sided and chromed; so it took a little longer and now they are extremely busy especially this time of year:dunno

guess that thing won't be hitting the twisties any time soon. it is nice looking though.

guess that thing won't be hitting the twisties any time soon. it is nice looking though. :lol no definitely not man; didn't build it for that but next one maybe:thumbup

Yeah am getting mine chromed also. Hope it comes soon tho getting tired of waiting and really want to get the bike finished :).

Nice.... I'm looking at doing the same or close to the same but i don't want it too long.. I want a 300 and room for a Nos bottle. do they make anything for that? who else makes 300 ss swing arms? Thanks

Nice.... I'm looking at doing the same or close to the same but i don't want it too long.. I want a 300 and room for a Nos bottle. do they make anything for that? who else makes 300 ss swing arms? Thanks if you want the best go with C & S; i seen spyder racing did a SS recently but they make theirs out of square tubing; as far as length i don't know if they'd be able to go any shorter than mine; mines about 10+ over and i asked for the shortest possible stretch; give them a call or Bart at McCoys and he can get ya a package setup:thumbup but i'm going to warn ya; nows the wrong time to be ordering; it's the busy season bro:dunno can't wait to see yours

That shit looks tight homie!!!

That shit looks tight homie!!! thanks bro:thumbup

Yeah I hear you.. I'm just trying to figure out a path right now. I'll tell you, I'm not sure how it is for cops where your at but here, it's just nuts. To the point that I got pulled over and charged for a lane light?? what ever the hell that is?.. I love the wheelie the bike and high speeds.My fear is I'm going to get nailed with a new street racing law. So the options.. sell the bike and get a cruiser:ugh or make my bike not so wheelie, high speed-user freindly...lol. I love the look of the lowered bikes with a 300 rear. This will be a winter project so I'm not in a real big hurry. I think that doing somehing like this will hold value in the bike wouldn't it? (ps. ilike the look of the spider man bike in the McCoys cat. not sure what size that rear tire is?)

Bike looks great bro!!! I've beeen wanting to chrome the ends of my exhaust too. Who did yours?

Bike looks awesome. If you don't mind me asking how much did the tire kit cost? I was thinking of getting a 240 or 300 kit was wondering the price difference.

I think that doing somehing like this will hold value in the bike wouldn't it? (ps. ilike the look of the spider man bike in the McCoys cat. not sure what size that rear tire is?) i don't think it adds or takes away from the value of the bike; where i'm from there aren't too many custom sportbikes; just your HD's; that's why i did it; so i can hopefully start building part time because i work a swing shift the mccoys bike is a 240 i believe; and they say still handles great

Bike looks great bro!!! I've beeen wanting to chrome the ends of my exhaust too. Who did yours? they're not chrome homie; they're polished because they're titanium House of Finishes Crestline, CA Phone # 909-338-6120 this is the name of the place that does all my chroming and polishing; ask for Carlos; and tell him Derek sent ya; he treats ya good:thumbup

Bike looks awesome. If you don't mind me asking how much did the tire kit cost? I was thinking of getting a 240 or 300 kit was wondering the price difference. my arm alone was one retirement fund i started 9 months beforehand or $5g's:crash; you got to think about everything else; a 300 back tire alone costs about $300 to $350; longer section of chain for the dual chain set-up; wheel is wider for 300mm so that adds to the cost; either way build what you want and don't let anyone hold ya back; good luck bro:thumbup

Not much into the stretched look BUT you definitly did it right :thumbup Nice ride man :rock

:lol no definitely not man; didn't build it for that but next one maybe:thumbup Twisties??? We don't have those around here

Twisties??? We don't have those around here we have road america bro:thumbup but otherwise there's the thousands of miles of farmer; cow $h!t spread roads:crash

Loooking real good!! Getting my singleside swingarm on Monday so I should be starting my build real soon :rock seen your post on your project; can't wait to see it all put together:thumbup

Fkn Awesome, Wanna Trade.... :lol thinkin about it Jesse; me and my brother were out riding thursday and friday and all that we had was guys coming up to us checking out my bike so i'm ready to sell this beast; will post some pics this coming weekend cause i have off and i'm trying to round up a group to do some riding:flex: i'll post the pics of how this thing is a dude magnet:crash back to working

Got my stuff yesterday should have some pics posted later today. Question do you have your rear brakes hooked up? Do you use them? How does the chrome on the rotor hold out?

Got my stuff yesterday should have some pics posted later today. Question do you have your rear brakes hooked up? Do you use them? How does the chrome on the rotor hold out? i have a chrome PM caliper with a r1 chrome wave rotor with a +20 over galfer brake line; but since this thing is now classified as a tank:crash i haven't even touched the rear brake; if you need me to post close up pics let me know bro and i can take some pics tomorrow....

I got the same chrome rotor with the R1 sign in it also. Was going to put on the rear caliper and brake pads but was thinking its going to scratch up the chrome rotor and make it look bad lol. So was just wondering if you had your rear caliper hooked up and if you ever used it and what kinda wear did it put on the chrome rotor. Think am just going to remove the pads out of the caliper to play it safe.

One more question? I was told i need to remove the bearings ot of my stock swingarm and install them in the C&S swingarm. How hard are the bearings to remove?

One more question? I was told i need to remove the bearings ot of my stock swingarm and install them in the C&S swingarm. How hard are the bearings to remove? just buy new ones bro; the one on the non drive side is a needle bearing and you'll prolly ruin it trying to get it out; the one on the drive side is roller bearing so you might be able to be able to pull that one out with a bearing puller:dunno; they run about $50 bucks; just my .02 cents; i wasn't going to cheap out even though my bearings were brand new in the stock arm; 0 miles; plus easier to sell the stock arm:thumbup

here's some pics of the rotor and caliper set-up for ya Masterpiece; haven't even used the back brake yet; no need to yet this thing is a tank; in fact i haven't even bled the rear brakes yet; but this weekend it'll get done; everyday i have off it's raining it seems; hence the pics today:rant

some more...... finally got the McCoys Motorsports sticker to make it a little bit faster:flex::lol

some pics of the C & S spinner; good luck getting one like this; man i need to move this rain has got to stop some time:nforc: hopefully it's nice out this weekend; i'll take pics of this beast outside in the sun words can't even describe how this bad beast looks in the sun....my brothers quote..."I can't even ride with ya mang; that thing is a distraction; it's fly as mother-f.....!":lol

Not really into the stretched and chrome look, but that is one sweet swingarm. :fact co-sign

It's awesome bike! But with the length too long like that, does it effect the performance of the bike?

Anyway, the chrome looks very clean and tidy for the bike.

It's awesome bike! But with the length too long like that, does it effect the performance of the bike? only when you're going really slow; like in a parking lot:crash

TWISM2 Just opened a extended fat tire pics thread. Post some pics of that beauty!! Kool!!

Awesome looking bike dude. Shows the time you have taken to put this bike together. To much chrome for me though. I ride in too much bad weather I would shoot myself cleaning that thing all the time I hate any dirt on my bike. Keep up the good work.

I ride in too much bad weather I would shoot myself cleaning that thing all the time I hate any dirt on my bike. Keep up the good work. thanks bro; yeah you spend an afternoon riding and the next day and a half cleaning the beast:crash oh well i knew building it what it would take to keep it up by i like spending that time with my mistress:thumbup

let me know if ya need any help setting up the chain; mine was a little bit of pain; but i had to set-up the back chain tighter than heck cause if there was going to be any slack it would it the arm; i already had to retighten the chains after about 150 miles but it's worth it:thumbup Twism2 got 2 spots on my swingarm where the chain hits alittle when am riding. My swingarm only uses one chain tho cause its the 240 swingarm and not the 300. Any ideas?

Twism2 got 2 spots on my swingarm where the chain hits alittle when am riding. My swingarm only uses one chain tho cause its the 240 swingarm and not the 300. Any ideas? i'll need you to take pics brudda of where the chain is hitting; and a pic of you showing how tight the chain is set-up; just take some pics and let me know where you post them up:thumbup
