I think it looks really good. I would consider matching the calipers and the gold part of the front rotors in the same gold. I like the Honda accents in black you added to the wheels. That looks great.

Thanks alot 04_CBR! I have a local shop make those for me and I wasn't too sure at first but I did like the end result!!! Now if I could just find some
nice Honda stem caps or some cool anodized ones, it might add to the look.

I was waiting for a diehard to say something about the logo. I liked the look of that logo, so I went with that. I might try to get some small wings made and replace them with the one I have now just to do something different. Since the wings are already on the sides of the tank. I was thinking about adding a few more decals somewhere, just haven't seen the right one yet or thought of a good place for them. My next "to-do" things is to relocate that evap can.

How much did it run you to get your rims powder coated?

The cost of the guy how did the powder coating was $100.00 for
both wheels, which includes 2 layers of clear.

The actual cost taking into account having the tires and bearing removed
and then re-installed, was more than the powdercoating charge.

I think if memory serves, it was $120.00 for the rest of the labor, including
mounting the new tires / re-installing the bearings, and balancing the wheels.

Thanks kukku!!! It definitely gets alot of stares around town. I had it in for service this past Saturday at John Burr Cycles and left it parked outside the service bay. I went inside for the paperwork and came back outside only to find a few guys gathering around checking it out. The loved the color combo and were amazed that it was an 02. It looks pretty much new just like when I bought it 7 years ago.
