    Hi all,

    Pointless question really but just a bit curious.

    I've got a 2016 HRC SP and it has black wheels rather then the gold. Were black wheels an option for the SP or is it more likely they been powder coated/swapped?

    Cheers,

    Shrappers

    I'm sure the Virago hipster will put you straight on this in a moment.

    The 2014-2016 SP models all came with gold wheels. So yours have been swapped or coated.

    Yep, and later 17-19 sp models all came with gold wheels. The previous owner probably not a fan of gold wheels?

    Personally I prefer black wheels to gold, be interested to see what it looks like?
