New Wheels - Photos

[lawson17]

Hi Guys, I just got my wheels back on. They've been at the powdercoaters for a while.

I'm really pleased how they turned out! I thought I'd post a few pictures on the Forum.

Thanks to everyone on here who helped with the technical questions. Much appreciated.

Nice bike!!

If I hadn't seen that, I'd swear it'd look awful, but it's ace :D

[lawson17]

Thanks guys!

I wasn't sure what sort of response it would get?

When I told people I was getting them done yellow, I got some weird and wonderful looks! lol! Even the bloke that powdercoated them asked me if I was sure!

:D :cool:

That looks really good. My old man did a smilare colour for his wheels for his black gixer

Not keen on all the stickers on your bike, but then not many people are keen on the top-box on my bike :D

Cracking looking SV

looks pretty good though, maybe a bit OTT with the stickers?

Also, Nice Forks. Did you do those yourself or get the garage to/ painter to clean em up?

They're stomp grips. They're were discussed in another thread ages ago. I think someone said they were good.

[falc]

Stomp grips are supposed to be pretty neat.

Quality finish on those wheels, nice job :thumbsup:

[kwak zzr]

nice job on them wheels, nice bike, lots of mods:)

[lawson17]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments!

Eating pot noodles for weeks was worth it! lol!

Yeah, they are stomp grips, I read about them on here before and decided to give them a try. I found them to be a sound investment. £32 if I remember correctly.

They helped me to stay as part of the bike, if you see what I mean? I'm only 10 stone so I got thrown forward a bit when I closed the throttle or started braking.:D

Them stomp grips are in fast bikes this month, bit of an artical on them.

Hey do you know wher I can get the stomp grips from? I would like to get some for my bike as well. Yeah I'm the sane 10 stone (65kg) I did wonder what the bike would look like with powder coated blue wheels! I have the same bike.

Hi,

I got my stompgrips from Califonia Superbike School. Other places like Demon Tweeks sell them too I believe.

[philipMac]

Wow. That looks pretty nice actually.
I like the stickers on the rims.
Not so sure about the other stickers, but I am an exceptionally dull boy.

Looks very nice. As Northy said if I hadn't seen a pic I'd have thought it would look nasty.

Good job:thumleft:

[plowsie]

Looks good mate! How much that cost ya? Put a stubby on it to really chav it up ;) Got some goldies on mine....

[Alpinestarhero]

gold and black looks great. My dad painted his gsxr wheels gold, looks neat against the black of his bike. Will try and get a pic of it :D
