U know how on every 954(stock) every swing arm is silverish/polished! well and that the frame is black...what was honda doing?  Anyway and now its pissing me off!!!!  right now i dont have much time to get it paint it, at least not this season...so i found this ...where can i get one for a 954 and is it any good?

Those swingarm covers are from Magical racing.....Japan. Do a search on Magical racing. Their windscreens are sick!!!!!CF molded into the screen. It will run ya about $300 though.......They dont make a swingarm cover for the 954.

I think that looks bad ass....but that just my opinion and I will never do a chrome/polish bike again. I would consider something like that on my next bike.....Its your bike man, just like the DARE people say "DARE to be different"

Sorry to get off topic, but is that a penske shock?  Feedback?

Topic,  I'm both ways on the cf.  If I had to choose, I'd probably go powder coat to match the frame.
