Got new Kenda tires put on, went with a 130/70/18 front tire. Fills out the fender a bit better, looks a bit meatier. Bike seems to ride really well on it. While the tires are off I scrubbed, sanded, self etch primed, and painted the wheels. Came out pretty good for a rattle can job. The can's said flat black, but came out more of a satin look I think due to how hot it was outside when they were painted. Here she is.

I'm likin' 'em. I think I'd love 'em with a red, or yellow, or maybe blue pinstripe around the outside just before the bead.

I was thinking of a red "time attack" pinstripe around the edge. May get some thin red vinyl pinstripe tape and see how it looks.
I have my black cocktail shaker exhaust that should be delivered this week going on. Debating on header wrap after those are on. Also would like to do the headlight bucket, but can't decide if I should do the whole thing or leave the outer ring chrome. hmmmm.....

Won't look so hot&sexy after a few months wearing the wrap, if you decide to remove.

I know I wrapped mine and it was a hell of a job to polish and it still shows marks in the crome.

Exhaust wrap. If I was going to wrap my headers, I would find me some buggered chrome ones. The subject bike s headers are still purty, IMO.

How about a used set of ceramic black headers? (shameless sale promotion)
