So I recently low sided the bike and decided to pick up some repsol fairings. I can't decide which color to paint the wheels. I don't think I could go wrong with any of the color options, but I can't decide!!!

How it sits currently:









opinions?

 

I would not go with that last one.. haha. Props on the coloring skills, but I would leave it as is. BLACK. That repsol fairing set looks super clean. If it were my bike, I'd get a tinted windscreen and some matching black/orange shorty levers. That's just me though.

BTW: Whats GDM? haha

 

German Domestic Market (Instead of JDM YO) haha. I build/drive volkswagens...

I was actually sort of leaning towards the last one! Haha. I've always loved white wheels, and miss my old hurricane becuase of its white wheels. At the same time I've always loved the orange wheels on the repsols.. Cannot decide... Can't stay black though :P

 

Orange.

I like white rims aswell because they look good against the black tires. But in the repsol color scheme white is more of an accent color. So when you paint the rims white it starts to overpower everything else.

 

Orange

 

Yeah, if you had to go with a decision other than black, Orange would definitely be the better bet. It's going to look more like an official Repsol. I also agree that the white will overpower the rest of the bike. Hey, maybe even just polish the rims! haha.

 

Thanks for everyones input, I'm leaning towards this now!



orrrr



Thoughts?

 

whoa.. that looks like my cream filled orange popsicles downstairs in my freezer. lol. You'd be the first one.. lol

 

so do them orange and put some white rim stripes.. how will paint hold up? Powdercoating might be the way to go....

 

The paint should hold up fine as long as the surface is prepped and the wheels are baked. Still on the fence about orange w/ white lip, or white w/ orange lip.
