Front wheel refinished

Post by Realitybites »

Just got my front wheel back from refinishing. From ugly hand painted to this.

Beautiful that is. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Nice, what process was used on the wheel, is it powder or paint?

It's painted. They strip the old coating, walnut or pellet blast it, fill any nicks, and straighten any bent rim, clear prime and paint. I had the rear done a year ago and it still looks new.

Do you go to any big bike meetings over there in the US, I'd love to rock up to one where they have a big ride out, saw one when I was in Florida just wished I was on my bike 😃

Hey, the bolts are stainless, bought them from the Uk ebay.

Not been to any big bike meetings yet, hoping to but the riding position on the FZ does my neck in after a while, not the bikes fault, I'm just f***ing old and worn out. :\
