Well, a matter of taste combined with the things around it, but IMO a lot better than bare metal. In my bike at least... No one can tell you what you like so go as you feel, I want mine painted.

Benjy, the wheels look great! Is that paint gonna hold up to road use and tire changes, like powder-coating will?

Hey JNS, its hardcore 2pac paint, they use it on airoplane parts and big construction vehicals. once its hard its tough as old boots. they put new tires on 1 day after getting them out of the oven. no scratches or digs!!!! (pics of machine to follow, bat died on phone and cant transfer them...

I have just had a company make a Fiberglass mould and White gel coat finish race fairing made from F3 designish!!! so that should be here in next few weeks! i have attached a pic of a finish mould done for another bike.... but then you can see the jist of what it will look like. i have asked them to design a mould so that it has headlight and tail light holes...... It has a single seat conversion hence Race fairing.......

Soooo cant wait to get this thing on the road!
