Gonna drop off my wheels tomorrow at the body shop and have em painted gloss black. They are grey right now and I'm tired of them looking like poo after a weekend ride. That's all. I'm bored.

And if you paint the spokes red, they're faster.  ;D

New pennies are shiney!

True, so I propose that dipping wheels in Burger King BBQ sauce will also shine 'em up just as it does with crusty pennies.

Thoughts?

I'd like to have my wheels painted poo color. :D

Changed my mind. Think I'm gonna have em chromed instead. Maybe go with a chromed out theme on the whole bike.

That looks pretty good.  The only thing I would change is those dog boner looking things you have hanging off the back.  Jk :-*

Oh and too late, already got em back from the body shop.  They look good.

I like it. Love the cherry bomb mufflers and you got some real brakes on that thing too.

Really pisses people on the high zoot scoots when you leave em for dead on a bike like that.  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

And black is more better.
