Has anyone done a 18" rear and 19" cast wheels with black spokes(centre) and polished lip?????? Wanna know what it looks like before I do it
 
Is this what you are considering?

Willis, I like that seat. Where did you get it?
Sorry for the Hijack
 
I'm really liking the stripped/naked look. How much work is it to strip them?

I have a spare set off the '80 parts bike, if they can be chemically stripped or sandblasted, I might just do that.
 
I stripped the rims on my old GS550E with some aircraft paint stripper. Good for aluminum. Not so good for bare skin, so put some gloves on.


You know funky, I never really gave those chromed sidecovers a second thought, but they look nice on your bike. Mine looks pretty much the same as yours (well..a bit more lived in perhaps) except black. I think those sidecovers might look the biz. /hijack
 
Hi it took me 3 days work with paint stripper and pressure washer then good old elbow grease and my Dremmal and wire wool ...:thumbsup:
