have you checked the gallery a few posts below?

there would be a good chance there is an RVf in there as you describe. remember seeing one i think

I know what you mean, my RT came with white wheels and it just didnt look right. After seeing a few pictures of RR's and RT's with different colour wheel combinations imo the RR's looks looks better with white wheels and the RT looks better with black wheels. Google some pics

I'd have to go with RR's having white wheels and RT's with Magtek gold.

Slighly off topic but liking the results of the vapour blasting on your website...

How does it compare cost wise with sand blasting?

cheers for replies might do them.

vapourblasting is more expensive to give a idear i normally charge for a two stroke engine clean about £100 that crank and heads but they look like new, it takes longer to do than sandblasting but is done in water so whole engine has to be apart with all bearing out, i also do soda blasting which can be done on built engines to clean them but dosnt look as good as vapour blasting. ill post some pics up of parts ive done on my rvf just did end can looks like new now :lol:
