..SO,regardless of method and ease of reversal, why would anyone want to take perfectly good
silver wheels (that go well with any color) and make them look dirty, black, and cheap?  :nuts:

 :popcorn:

Do you mean like the 2012+ Concours coming off the assembly line?  ???

While I normally agree with your overall point, my bike is black and it looks awesome with black wheels...

I have an M109 with chrome wheels and would never go with black wheels on that bike.

But, wheel color and bike color for that matter, are a personal choice...so to each their own.

So, I guess it IS a moot point...!!!   :P  ;D

just a quick fyi, I dipped the wheels on my wrangler 10,000 miles ago.. no scratches or peeling.  For prep, all I did was wipe down the surface w/ rubbing alcohol.

Looks great for under $10. It might be an interesting idea for people's bags that have a passenger all the time. Coat the bags and no more skid marks. I think Jeremy did use a trunk liner paint and taped it nicely. to give it design.

Welcome bro!  :chugbeer:

Uh oh, Eric...ZG saw our wheels...he has the sweetest black C14 on the forum...but he powder coated his...he might be pissed at us for going the $7 route...lol!

Thanks all...and I agree, I will fit in around here...Eric will too...and he has a decade of AF active duty time as well!  He is a good friend.  Has a sweet black M109 too!  Now that my Connie's wheels are black, I think my black bike may be sweeter than his though...NAH!!!  Eric, post a pic of that bad boy!

Oh by the way, ZG, your powder coat thread was the reason I went the route Eric & I took...no way I was going to tear this thing apart like you had to!  Yours looks so awesome though, I knew I had to do some blacking out of the silver to emulate it...not nearly as sweet because, truthfully (Eric will vouch for this), you get what you pay for...but this will do...for now! ;-)

so far so good..  only problem I see is when it comes time to change tires.   And then it should be an easy touch up !   :)

My only concern would be uneven weight throwing balance off. Of course a moot point if a balance is done after installing tires.
