Did that on last bike...till I got caught out in shitty weather on a winter day, and didnt have time to clean them. They went to shite so I just re did the lot gold. Looked alright actually.
Already dismissed that option. Lee only ever considers necessary mods!!!!! :wave:

The problem with polished rims is that you need to keep on top of them otherwise they tarnish. There must be some kind of lacquer/protection on the market that they could be coated with once they are polished. I'm thinking I would like to do mine one day, I just don't fancy having to polish them on a regular basis.

Black or Silver, sometimes less is more :thumbup:

Gold would be OKish, but blue no, with your bike being red don't you think it might just look like a wannabe Ducati, trying to be something it's not :thumbdown:

Bought it on ebay.de about 4 years ago.

Don't think they still do them though.

Might be worth getting a mold made from it and get a few made, what do you reckon ?

Would need quite a few requests to make it worth the hassle I'd have thought.
