Decisions, decisions, Superfour Wheels

[craigs23]

Hi all

One of my little projects continue, and I'm trying to make a decision on which colour to have my wheels coated.

I'm currently quite partial to white, having been a favourite of the other Honda 400s I've worked on in the past, but I'm wondering about a couple of other colours. Which do you think?

Currently:

White (would tie in nicely with my RVF and NC30s):

Gold (as per CB1300):

Cherry red (as per go faster stripes):

Think white suits it best

White Gold is a bit too bling, red doesn't look right for some reason.

I don't think the red is too bad. Maybe if it matched the stripes a bit more it might suite it better?

Red or black. White = 90's GSXR.

90's GSXR + Retro Honda = fail.

With MarJay on this one.

Definitely not white, would look gash, the gold would be a last resort.

Red

Black, maybe red if you have too. Def not gold that looks awful - not too keen on the white either

[Vincent]

Silver or grey Or, black with polished rims.

Why not try white rim tape before splashing out on a respray?

Worst case scenario you've wasted a few quid.

Best case scenaraio it looks awwwesssomee

Thanks for the responses.

I've decided to go with white. Maybe I just love cleaning too much, but I guess I've always been a fan of the GSX1400 in blue and white, with matching wheels.

There is more of a connection between the Superfour and a golden-wheeled (non bling variety) CB1300, but haven looked at the mock ups for the first time in a few days, the gold and red feel more toy like to me, and I just don't like the black that the bike currently adorns. Rim tape doesn't do it for me either - there's only a limited number of bikes that I feel look better with them applied to.

Second set of forks have also arrived now, so they're off to Kais to have a refresh and a few 'tweaks'.

I quite like the gold.

Decision finally made.
