Aesthetic Upgrades

[lesreynolds]

I was just wondering if anyone has seen or knows where you could buy chains that are different colors. Don't know if I would get one but I saw a blue gixxer online with a blue chain on it and to be honest I thought it looked pretty neat. On top of that anyone have a good online site with decent prices or a shop here in Calgary isn't through the roof for just random bike shit anything from fairings to exhausts. I'm just looking to see whats out there and if anything catches my eye. Don't really care to make my bike go faster since it has more power then I will ever be able to use legally, but switching out some parts to make it "my bike" is what I'm looking for.

If you're looking to have work done on your bike locally, check out Redline (http://www.redlinecalgary.com/). I've heard only good things about them, and when my busy schedule permits, I'll be stopping in with my track bike project.

Otherwise, if you're just picking up little accessories that you can throw on yourself, there are tons of online places. I've had good dealings with the following:

Bayside Performance (http://www.baysideperformance.ca/)
Trackstar 1 (http://trackstar1.com/vmart/)
Sportbike Track Gear (http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/StoreFront.bok)
Moto Mummy (http://www.motomummy.com/store/home.php)
The list goes on.

Not so pleasant dealings with:
Cheap Bastard (http://cheapbastard.ca/shop/)
Cycle Gear (http://www.cyclegear.com/)
*Cycle Gear actually has very good reviews, however, my experience was not so good. I'd call it a one off, and the prices are good.

Otherwise, I like to support local businesses (except for you know who), but not when I can save serious $$$ online.

Agreed I like to keep it in Alberta if not Canada if I can, but I'm not one to throw away an extra 300 bucks if I can get it cheaper online. Thanks for all the sites I will take a look through them to see if anything peeks my interest.

Also I might have to go checkout Redline also, I've seen a lot of people posting topics about them so I'm interested to see this place.

i went to ebay for some small accessories. i got tinted flush mounts, gear indicator and shorty mirrors for pretty cheap considering local prices. i like to buy local alot and redline is my place to go, but i still cant justify some prices....

Ah ok maybe I will check out a few sellers on there and see what they have to offer. I really need to go to Redline everyone keeps putting their name out there.
