    I am loving white at the moment, think I will add a thin red rim tape or a thin red line on the left hand side only inside the front and back wheel if that makes sense.

    Thanks Ken for the photo's I was very tempted with the Red but seeing as I am OCD with cleaning and had no probs with white wheels on the blade I am going to go for white !

    Black is nice, gold yuck, red tempting.... Really liked the black rear, white front idea but worry it will look like its thrown together...

    Ken could you do black rear white front in a pic for me :) just to make sure I am not wrong :)

    Dont put rim tape on it jamie, pop to your local vinyl shop and get them to make some custom stickers instead then you can have what ever you want. ( 1 sticker per 1/4 of wheel so 4 in total per wheel) you could try red murging into blue

    Don't forget to fit 90 deg tyre valves while you are at it. Make things so much easier.

    After all this I accepted an offer on the house this weekend, and after a lot of discussion at home I am going to sell the 1098 :eek:

    I need a bike to do 120 miles a day 4 days a week, as I rent a room in bristol now but it will be cheaper to commute and while I know the 1098 can do it, I am very sure I couldn't so I am going to sell her :( and look for a CB1000R, Superduke, Aprillia V4 Tuono APRC, Triumph Speed triple, multistrada etc (not sure which I want yet).

    As such I am going to leave the wheels for the next owner to do in the color of their choice, but for the purpose of this thread I would have gone with the white with red rim tape as phantom kindly did for me :)

    Been offered p/x @ 8k so putting her up for £8995 will be on ebay soon :(

    Tempted Art, if its yours at least I know it will be immaculate and probably have plenty of added bling :)
