    Finally fixed my front disc warping problem (I think), by swapping the front rim. The paint is all crappy though so when I have time/money I'll probably get the rims powdercoated, maybe both red as it doesn't get so dirty so quickly!!

    Screw Red. Just polish them up with autosol. Would look sweet with the silver fairings!

    well if you gonna be painting them both red you will need to strip the paint first anyway. if you polish them and you dont like them, they are ready for repainting.

    Win/win I reckon

    You should polish up the front forks at the sametime. Then it will be the true Silver Surfer.

    Seeing as someone has half polished one side of the forks already I could actually do that too. Haha the bike would seriously be silver after all this though!!!

    How hard would polished rims be to keep clean though? Just as hard as white ones ?

    Any colour rim is hard to keep clean, but polished ones are no worse than painted from what people have said. Besides, you only have half a swing arm to get in the way.

    +1 - these things look great with polished rims - I hear you can even clear-coat it for protection too

    if you're "lucky" the honda powdercoat will come straight off with a touch of brake-cleen

    (what did you use to get paint that's been on for 20 years to suddenly come off within two months of you owning it?)

    It was like that when I got it, and I think it's just average paint ay not even powdercoated. Is autosol fine to use too? Just like dip on a rag and wipe it?

    Clear-coat to protect from rust etc?
