    Hi Guys,

    Over the last few months ive been working on my RR5, mainly replacing the jap c**p repsol plastics with oem Honda parts.
    All the fairing has been painted in pearlescent black, just cant decide on wheel colour, wheels are being powder coated the weekend but im still undecided.
    Anyone got any good pics with different wheels colours on a black blade?

    Black and Gold is always a good combo

    Dark red works well on black.

    What about bright orange? Saw a picture on the net of a black blade with these wheels and it looked quite striking.

    Black for the stealth look or gold to stand out!

    Although the orange don't look bad, bit like the rcv winter test bikes

    Have them dirt colour because that's the colour they all end up as two miles into a ride.

    Otherwise, what about the bronze colour to match the fork bottoms.....or candy apple red.

    I'd go Black and Orange - go for a deeper orange though. Looks mint . Stand out from the crowd!
