The only reason I don't do this to my bike is, okay reasons, are : skill, vision, patience, *****, money and know how. But if it wasn't for just those I would seriously do it.

Skill- comes with practice.
Vision- is easy. Just look at other alike bikes and take notes/pictures.
Patience- is the hardest to come by.
*****- just say F it and start taking ***** apart.
Money- the main reason I try to do as much of my own work as possible.
Know how- same as skill. Buy the owner's manual!

Good question I had my pully cover painted red before to match the wheels. Guess I just thought Id do the same thing. Doesnt matter to much because boxes and new fender cover it completely. Black would of worked out too just so much going on sometimes sh@t goes sideways.

Turned out pretty nice. Powder coated entire wheel black sanded the lip down for some candy on hoops. I want to thank ride wright wheels for all their help today. Danielle is great there. When I showed up they stopped everything to put my tires on, rotors, bearings all of that. I hear alot of talk about them just wanted to say my experience has been first class with them.
Scooter is coming out sick.Will really be a head turner and fun to ride.good job so far.
Dang 06 you hit it on the head. Go for it.

Aahhhh, "San Diego." Drink it in. It always goes down smooth. San Diego, it means: "Yellow-painted pulley cover."
