Classy and looks good with the tank panels!

When I saw the first two photos I thought it looked tacky. But seeing the third, it actually complements the tank well and looks really good. A shot in broad daylight would be helpful.

Sorry, not to my taste. But it's your bike to do with as you please; I certainly don't expect others to necessarily like what I do with my bike.

Its a NO from me....

 

[Armo]

When I read the title it was a definite no but I like them, they really do look cool and do match the rest of the bike. Well done and dare to be different.

I have the CR, and mine are gold all around. I like yours a lot better than my full gold wheels.

I think it's a nice touch. Seems painstaking!

I put silver reflective rim tapes on mine. I would have preferred a less black version of the scrambler and this helped a bit. Maybe some day I'll have the rims stripped and anodized silver. I have a Classic so that would look pretty nice in my opinion. But not worth the expense until they need re-lacing.

The tape is definitely a bit tacky. The CTE of the tape and rim are so different that eventually you get places where the tape isn't stuck down for ~1/8" or so. But you don't see that unless you look very closely. And the reflective effect has to help at night with all those idiots texting and driving these days.

Depends on what you want and whether you intend to ride the bike or just show it. Mine is never perfect, but it gets a few miles and is loads of fun.

Enjoy, Phil
