Wheel paint

Andri · 5 Jun 2011 at 13:02

Hi guys, just a quick one really.

I've had my Triumph Sprint ST 1050 for a year and i'm loving it.
I'm now at the point where i'm considering some modifications.

I've seen a few Red VFR800s around with Gold wheels, and the odd blue Sprint with Gold wheels.

I did a quick photoshop to see what it "might" look like.
Please fogive the poor phone camera photos.

Before

After

What do you guys think?
Also, anyone know of any places that would paint a wheel around the London area.

Thanks.

it wasnt as horrible as i thought it would be before scrolling down.

although i still prefer the black wheels.

why not do a mod like a performance exhaust or something instead?

Not really thought about exhaust systems, i know Triumph do an official performance mod for one. Although from what i've read it just makes the bike louder, not something i really want due to the bike being a Sports tourer.
I've already bought the full pannier set, plus a rear carrier for a givi top box.

I was thinking of some other smaller mods as well, i just wanted to get a few opinions on the wheels.

I'll have a look around to see what else there is around, exhaust wise.

Thanks.

The red and gold looks good, but not with the black frame imo. Look better black in my eyes. Nice bike though!
