Well I finally got my 98+ wheel polished, painted, and cloearcoated. it toook forever to strip/sand/polish it all. I thought I would post some pics of it here as I think it turned out really well.
I wish the camera picked up the graphite color better. it is a very metalic flakey and pops out when the sun hits it. I used the graphite wheel paint and wheel cloar coat out of a can. I also got a little ambitous and redid my 'dashboard'/brake resivoir/tops of the fork tubes with the same paint and left part of it just primered, then clearcoated it all. here are some before and after pics
After:
And a picture of the bike (keep in mind it is very in progress)
Comments/criticisms welcome, I would be especially interested in what you guys think about the bar end mirrors and where I mounted the tach.
