Can you post up a pic of your bike? Gloss black always looks nice, but maybe a light bronze like the Ducati 916 wheels?

Just tried to move a picture of bike from one of my old posts but couldn't! Will do it tonight on laptop and no doubt you technical boys will be able to play around with colours 8O

I am also in the same boat Watty. I have a set of 6 spokes I need painting but not sure what colour. So hard as the decisions are endless. Are you using the standard storm wheels?

Would that be the 6 spokes that did 400 miles before they even got to your bike :lol: . Yeah i'm on storm wheels mate, need to prioritise my winter modding list and change of wheels is well down the list :roll:

Yes watty that front wheel :lol:

The polished look would look nice on yours but getting then clear coated may be fun, I seem to bear that some sprayers don't like doing it because it may not stick properly. I could be wrong though.

A bit controversial but I reckon your wheels are actually really nice and suite your bike as they are in silver!

You actually could be right mate as there is lots of other silver on there to contrast the bike :thumbup: . The modding bug could be taking over :crazy:
