Re: Finally finished my wheels *new pics*
Not what I would do personally, but it looks good and glad you are happy with it! Have you thought about repainting the bike white?
As for the clear on the tank, if you use a razor knife and a steady hand, you can cut beside the sticker and then remove it. Use a good buffing compound and you should be able to smooth the clearcoat down to where you can't feel the difference anymore. I did that with my '91 years ago since those stickers were cleared in. It took some time, but it looked right in the end.

And yes my original plan was to paint the entire bike white. I may still do that, this was just a random spur of the moment thing because I wanted to see what it looked like.

Re: Finally finished my wheels *new pics*
delayed friggin reply..... but.....
(and this is coming from the guy who paints EVERYTHING black)....
i like white wheels.
i would, however, add some white details on the rest of the bike just to kind of "bring it together".
check tapeworks, i bet you could get the honda wing in white (i'm sure someone probably alreay said that, i just didn't read all the posts) and just overlay it onto the bike.

There is actually a thread floating around in the Eye-Candy section that has a few different ideas of things to do to get more white integrated into the bike. And I've already got that is going to do the decals for me, same guy that does all our sumospeed vynils, just have to decide what I'm going to do.
I've got other shit right now that I'm worried about getting straightened out though, before I do anything more to the bike.
