I'm thinking have them powder coated in Kawi green to run with my black bodywork, what do you guys/gals think?? :-\
Don't focus on the bodywork in the below pics, but just look at the wheels, this is the color I'm thinking to run with all black bodywork...

Just make sure you clean the mold lines. Kawi Green deserves better than slow black!! ;)

:_shudder_Emoticon Nope.

Why not? I say do it!

That green against the black- think it might be too much contrast. I think I'd rather choose a color a little more subtle to complement the bike, not overwhelm it. The gold you already have would look good on the black bike. I'm afraid people might say, "Holy crap!" and not in a good way upon seeing that green and the black bike. I could be wrong but if it were mine I'd be looking for a different color.

True, but it's always good to have choices... ;)

Sorry J, I don't like the green for the wheels myself.
Who's 14 is that in the pics? They did all that work and left the stock can? :o

He's on the Japan GTR forum C, I thought the same thing, maybe it's some sort of emissions thing?? ??? :-\

Well got the bearings pulled from the wheels this morning and just got home from dropping the wheels off at the powder coater. :thumbs:
Here's a crappy phone pic of the color I picked out... :cool:

Out of context, I had no idea what he was referring to either... so it is no "Doh!"!! Besides, DSLR's are so last decade now :) I have a DSLT... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_SLT_camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_SLT_camera)

We'll see. Some of the guys early on (think 2008 model) painted their wheels and other bits of their bikes Kawi green. Didn't do much for me but it HAS to look better on a black bike than it does on a grey-dammit. Seeing as Jay has already done the blacked out look on his first iteration, I think he should polish the rims. Polished rims and a new set of stainless Muzzy duals. That would bemy choice.

Those look so much better than the gold wheels. If they had some candy in them I think they would look even better on the green body work, but awesome regardless. Get a set of them green tires and you are all set ;D
-
OMG those came out nice

Should I rock the Christmas colors for the next month... :o :P ;D
