I would never have imagined doing that but it looks great. What kind of grips and what kind of seat do you have? The seat looks like it would be really comfy.

Those are the slip on grips from Murphs web site and its a modular Sargent seat with the storage pod on back.The gold colour is actually Eastwood Gold Cadium for Brake Boosters when restoring Older GM cars.Very expensive paint,$25 a spray can but the colour was perfect.Its actually more of a tint then a paint and works perfect over the bright silver Stock wheels.My Old 2008 Hayabusa had the gold wheels also with the dark Blue paint and I figured if I did my Wheels gold I might be able to keep up to the Busa's.LOL

Yea Zedhed, I am thinking about it,but I got to be careful how far I go or it may start to l;ook a little tacky.Mind you lots of bikes have the gold forks to match.

Thanks for the comments guys.It's always risky doing major colour changes and seeing the end result.

It's possible you have too much spare time. I'm envious.

This made me think of the American Chopper episode recently..your bike has the same color scheme as the Trans Am.
