Definitely silver. There's no gold on the thing to match it to.

Definitely silver. There's no gold on the thing to match it to.
hear that ... the gold are kinda large so figured it would hide them ... here is the scheme, more blue than i would do but so sexxxy with red frame. my CR125R had gold hoops, always loved that look.

There is really nothing better than white/red/blue Honda's with gold wheels. Actually, I'd make a case that no matter what motorcycle, it'll look better with gold wheels.
I have a 1978 Honda XL100 that was given to me last year I'm planning on doing a full restoration on. You know it's going to be white/red/blue rolling on gold.
forgot to take pics of inner hub but we got that all cleaned up, fresh speedo gear installed and speedo working again.
the cable itself is still dry so i had to be careful on the test ride, that's how i blew up the last one but didn't realize.
brakes were a fail, shoes are too thick, i'll need to mod to get them to fit inside the hub.

also got the front rim valve stem in and tire mounted up, looks rad! that's a 110/80 up front, cannot wait to see the 130/70 on the rear. gonna look gangstah, hey

Dang. That tire look so fuhhreshhhh.
right? love it. stoked the fender still fits well, was worried we'd have to lose it. pretty sure the rear won't fit but we have plans for that.
the tubeless conversion was cake, no spokes so super easy. i was fearing getting a tube in there, wow those wheels are tiny. stiffer ride for sure though.
ordered up a new headlight, moving to the rear wheel and exhaust mods while we wait on that.
went through the wiring up front

more progress on The Stray .. .
chopped the front fender to mimic more modern road-going motorbikes, but i'm not into it. crap. rare shit.
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-19.jpg
but cleaned up cracks/chips with epoxy and fiberglass backing on front edge and mount points (sand/paint later)
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-20.jpg
matched shape to bobbed rear fender
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-21.jpg
and repurposed mud flap to hang off faring to shield head from debris/water spray
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-22.jpg
nabbed an MLM Next Level pipe for a QT50, fatter tubing than stock
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-23.jpg
which didn't fit for shit. had to grind mounts off the case, hammer the crap out of the inner side of pipe and bend the mount tab to fit
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...p-2020-23b.jpg
but it sounds rad and works great!
http://www.imgrepo.org/web/img/typeo...mp-2020-26.jpg

It's looking good. I have to admit, I didn't get this at first, but that is sweet.
This is really impressive work. Looks fun!
Looks great.
I was wondering what you’ve been up to all season.
Other then ripping around my neighborhood, I haven’t ridden the YZ since we went to Oct Mtn last year.
It’s been all about the boat and the new Streetfighter this season.
You guys riding this weekend? I’ve been thinking about dusting the dirty girl off this week.
"new Streetfighter" so intrigued!
yeah, with the 'Rona + boat + lake for a backyard, figured you were in chill mode this season ... trying to ride Friday + Sunday but no confirmations yet, would be awesome to see you Sunday ... it's my kids bday though so not sure what i can swing yet.
Let me know
