First Fitting


So I managed to find some time to fit the wheels, Metradisc, and an engine side cover. The wheels look even better on the bike and the Metradisc adds some bling. I am still undecided on using this engine cover or the one I painted.
In case you are wondering the 140/70 fits the rear perfectly with no rubbing!
I am trying to figure out what color to coat the frame, swingarm, and front shocks. Anybody handy with photoshop or have ideas? I am thinking Gun metal powdercoat?

Look at the mf'n Wheels!


Well it's been awhile since my last post, but the wait is over! My wheels are finally finished! There are probably easier or cheaper alternatives to what has been done on these suckers, but the results speak for themselves. They pretty much look like the DRD edition wheels which is what I was aiming for. Thanks to Paul @ Westside Wheel Werx for "lacing me up!" Also thanks to 4Ari for hooking me up with the extra set of wheels!
So here is the rundown on the wheel build:
*The rims have been anodized black for a clean factory finish that should last.
*The hubs/spindles were painted flat black (rattle can).
*New custom made stainless steel spokes and nipples.
*Fresh meat!
Hopefully I will have a little time to mount them on the bike so I can start fitment of the GPR caliper, Metradisc, and few other tidbits. Stay tuned!
