Default White Rubbers???

Ok so I recently bought some white grips for my scoot and love the look and comfort of these $12 grips. So now I am considering all white rubbers... brake pedal pad, floorboard inserts (halfmoon style), shifter pegs, and plug wires. What say you all?

Definately different and I like different. They may be hard to keep clean would be my biggest concern.

Try it out. You can also try to use Shout and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to keep them looking white. It works on the tires.

That would be a unique look. Don't think I've ever seen the white shifters, brakes, etc. However, the white floorboards would be a pain in the gluteus maximus to deal with.

Classic look. I set my FLH up like that back in the '80s, and it was an Old School look then! Westleys and Brillo pads keep white rubber gleaming.
