Re: Gold wheels
Golden glow pearl is actually a colour for a honda car but is what most people use for their wheels.

Re: Gold wheels
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to show off my gold wheels
When deciding whether to change from black to gold I looked at many pics of other's bikes, never really sure how the colour would turn out. I am happy with this, as close to HRC gold as I need it to be.
Painted in YR502P, the painter was quite taken by the colour - he was impressed!
In my opinion a contrasting colour on the RVF (other than OEM black) really lifts the character of the bike, even if it looks a little less tough!
The gold triple clamp was a little more adventurous (not visible in photos), but again I think it looks neat, very MotoGP.
I wasn't sure about the white hugger, but I think it works too!
Ben.
Unfortunately these are all iPhone pics so not great colour etc.

Re: Gold wheels
Very tempted to go the HRC gold route with mine..
The white is looking tired with some chunks missing out of the rear so time to re-fresh or change..?

Hi VtypeV4,
That is a neat colourscheme!

As much as it pains me to say this, how about red wheels instead?VtypeV4 wrote:Very tempted to go the HRC gold route with mine..
