[beckford]

Hi guys, dont know if i posted this in the right section, so apologies if i havent.

Im having my wheels powder coated next week, from the rather horrible red and yellow to black, but i just wanderd if there is anybody out there that is good with photoshop. Could do me a big favour?

cheers
steve

your not lying when you say the wheels are horrible!!

But black?? bit boring IMO, nice bike (when the wheels are changed)

What did you say to previous owner about the wheels?

yeah i asked if he was a bit fruity because those wheels are hideous. . I was thinking of gloss black with silver rim tape. I also need to change the screen as it dosent match anything. but maybe im being a bit fussy?

[Jammy-R6]

Id have them a graphite grey colour

[beckford]

Feel free to post up what you should think they look like would like to see other peeps opinions etc. Graphite grey sounds good

I had matt black wheels as standard, & i'm glad i changed them. If anything just get gloss or polished because matt black on wheels means they always look dirty & dull.

Here you go, hope this gives you the idea.


Matt Black

Gloss Black

IMO the matt is a much better look, but its up to you.

Oh please no.

That's so Suzuki Bandit, not R1.

Powdercoated satin black or black chrome would be my choices.

Well, all done now bar from a few bits and bobs. got a new set of michelin powers 2ct's so will have to wear them in. Just need a new screen and a akrapovic to finish the job off nicely.

every post I read of yours Jamie has you photoshopping something to change the colour of it recently. I take it you've just learnt how to use it

The R1 is lovely, should look great with the new exhaust system on it. Don't forget to post pictures with it on

wish I had to use it.....(cue to linky.. ) the red is pretty sparkly, altho the decals in white not yellow would be nice, as it is now with polished black rims is nice.
