Custom tail question and new bike question

Okay, this is my 99F4 which I have wheelied clean out of 3 chains and one clutch basket so far lol. Now, by some grace of god or somethin, this bike does not even have a SCRATCH on it, and so, before it does, I have the means to buy a bike for stuntin without the worry of damage. The problem is, for the same price I can get a 99 CBR900RR or a 2000 CBR929RR. As most of you who know me know, I am a REAL big guy, 300lbs! Now, that said, which do you think would be the better choice? THanks to my weight, I ALWAYS have a fairly low balance point (around 9 o'clock), and I have heard that 900s have a low bp on their own. I dont want to buy a bike that will balance at 8 o'clock you know? or will that matter? I am gonna start trying slow stuff soon so I am curious. Also, I wanna get my big *** in a highchair wheelie before long, so which has better low end BEFORE any possible gearing?

Now the next question, I have the targa cowl on my bike here, but I have seen a solid, race-like tail that covers the origional seat as one piece. Does anyone know where I can get this?

Re: Custom tail question and new bike question

Hey thanks man, I think that the sharkskins one is it.......I guess ya gotta get it painted and have the bold holes drilled....Dunno if I wanna put that much into her right now. Maybe I'll just stick with the cover cowl for now or maybe I'll convince myself to pay the 221.00 plus the cost of painting lol!

Re: Custom tail question and new bike question

very true, but will it take the same beating as the ol' 900?
