Looks good, but why do you have one gray wheel and the other red?

The red ties in with all the red on the front of the fairings, and the silver rear matches the swinger and tire hugger. That wheel might be white too - kinda can't tell for sure from the pics - the white would tie in with the white in the fairings.

Kinda like on my bike, the Smokin Joe's bikes had contrasting wheel colors.

Yeah, I've contemplated the same thing. The white rims look great when they are clean, but keeping them clean requires a wipe down every couple of rides...

Cleaning the bike is essential...many problems I encounter is during cleaning bike...I was cleaning the front rim then notice oil on brake caliper..WTF...got a broken fork seal. Dirt was beginning to accumulate and if I keep riding it, it may damage the forks...

One time when cleaning, I notice a fairing bolt rattle off loose... But it was too late...fairing tabs begin to cracked...I was able savage with adhesive...just don't overkill cleaning

Oh yeah, I clean the **** outta my bikes but if I can avoid undue detail cleaning by painting my wheels black, oh yeah, I'm gonna do that!

I agree, when cleaning you do find things like what you've mentioned.
