BlingBling (wheels)

Just wondering if any one knows of a source that dose custom hubs & wheels for the gasser I'm thinking black excel's with red hubs!!

Personally I wouldn't get anodized rims. They will look cool for exactly 1/4 of a ride. Especially if you ride rocks. They'll also end up scratched from tire changes.

Come on....Speedy if I was half fast enough make the Canadian ISDE team I wouldn't need red anodized hubs black rims but I'm old & have the dough so what the hell. Heck every thing on the bike & me get scratched instantly but that didn't stop me from buying white boots & a $500.00 lid w/Windhan graphics. I'm just having fun in my old age.
Thanks

If you do get black rims you can touch them up with a black permanent marker where they get scratched and they look fine

Why not just have your existing wheels powdercoated? 2. % black looks good, last longer than anodizing and is easy'ly touched up with flat black paint.I'll post a pic in the pic forum

Widebear:

Who do you recommend doing the powder coating and do they have an Internet address???

Thanks,

Powder coaters can be found in just about any of the larger urban centers, yellow pages, web search. You will have to have the rims media blasted to get the clear anodizing off, alum oxide is the best you dont want to go to aggresive, before having them powdercoated. Most shops offer both services under one roof. Expect to pay between $60 to $ 100, I paid $60. for a set of rims plus re lacing.

Hubs maybe, but rims? PC will come off faster than anodizing. Spend your money on maintanence, tires, and suspension.

Speedy good call, what damper do you recomend? I've used Scotts on road racing/track bikes but I've never had one on a dirt bike, in some of these dirt forums theres talk about damping force in both directions & force in only one direction. The Scott dampers in both directions (the way I remember) which seems to make the most sense.

GMP... I bought my Gasser from Pobit & the suspension is perfect (smooth as a babys ass & the bike steers great & no head shake on the fast fire roads). My riding abilty will never demand anything better. Maintance is covered, I am a fannatic about a well maintained bike. Tires also covered... So if ya ever pass a slow old guy on a blinged out 06 EC250 Gasser thata be me.
Thanks for the replys every one

I will prob. look into powder coat for the hubs & look for some anodiozed rims
