Devilsyam,

Fine piece of work for the "King of Bling"!

What are some compatible wheelsets for the Gen I with a standard fork??

Or am I better off going with inverted??

Thanks,
BroHay

the rear wheel is the problem bro although i have seen a set R1's fitted but was told he wouldn't do it again..

dymag and other after market wheel are avaliable for the fz but the cost is a minus factor..

std wheel can look good rim polished and painted this is by far the cheapest option

Is it a two-tone or just overall good prep for the finish to look consistent?

Paint or powdercoat?

Thanks,

we should shift this away from this post really as it's a big subject but biefly

depending on the bikes color the wheels can be the same color but with polished rims or a contrasting color

on my current bike there powder coated satin black to match the lower colors on the bike silver would also have worked

Here i used silver to match the bike

powder is by far the best paint will chip much easier when tyres are changed

modern powder systems allow for mixed colors and gradients and metal flakes to be done

with powder the wheel must be bare all bearings and fittings removed with paint it can be masked up
