painted wheels

Post by whitestorm pete »

I know its a love hate thing but ever since i seen my dads cb 900 with gold mags in the early 90s iv loved gold wheels so with the help of a good friend who also happens to be a proffesional sprayer we got them done cant wait to get them on!

even a standard one painted black would look good mate, and you can buy them for peanuts and spray it yourself, might be worth doing and then keeping an eye open for the one you want, i sold a black mori style bellypan a few months back, i think i accepted £50, i could have got more for it but because i was selling it to fellow members i thought what the hell. shame it would have look spot on, on your bike.....
