Wheel color?
I've seen quite a few bikes here but I don't recall seeing any that are what I'm going to do. I'm kind of a purest and I'm not a painter of any accomplishment so I'm going to take the easy way out. I'm going black and white. I'm going to paint my fairings white and put black stickers on it. The basic Honda and CBR 600 ones like factory, nothing outrageous, maybe a couple of the "run of the mill" hot rod parts stickers(one shocker for sure) but no flames, graphics or anything like that.
My question is as follows: Should I keep the wheels white? Should I paint the swing arm and hugger black? Black wheels with white tape or white wheels with black tape? I'm going to either paint my stock gas cap black or buy an after market one in black. I've kept the levers naked aluminum. The grips are black and I intend to go with naked aluminum bar ends. The mirrors will be black as well. Just for kicks, I was thinking of painting the front fender in B&W checker. What do you think?
I would like to see some pix of white bikes with black wheels, white wheels or any of the above mentioned combos. I'm having trouble picturing how I want my bike. Forgive me, I don't have much imagination when it comes to stuff like this.
I'll take another gander in the F2 media thread as well just in case I missed some.

Just a thought...If you know how to or know anyone that is good at photoshop you could try a couple different looks on your bike. I know on a truck forum I'm on they have a photoshop sub forum where you post a pic of your truck and what your thinking on wheels or paint or anything and a couple people will photoshop it for you. We should get something like that on this site!!
