Yep most people seem to be recommending powder coating when it comes to the wheels so that's probably what I'll do. I'd actually be quite interested to see how the bike looked stock - with yellow frame/wheels and everything else black.

I haven't seen a monster in that colour combination before.


edit:
guess I didn't look hard enough, here's a couple of pics






it's certainly a different look. I think that with a yellow stripe down the tank, and some better suited decals (along with the requisite tail chop and mirror change) it could look quite interesting.

Wow, I never considered painting the frame without taking it all apart. You've inspired me.

yeah...I remember pulling up to a bloke in Melbourne on a colour combo like that....when he told me it was a dark, I laughed out loud...."yep, I can see that!"

nice job mate! they reckon a frame dismantle and paint job is around $1300 aussie pesos....so that's a big saving!
