I've been thinking of going black wheels for years now , so I did a quick paint job on the rear to get an idea , now I'm not so sure , any other suggestions before I do the same at the front end?

Black looks good, but can make the rear wheel/tyre look like one big, bulky lump.
Rim tape alleviates that "look".......... No, honestly - it does!

PM me your address and I'll send you a set - that is as long as Al doesn't want them.
In yellow too.

Yes, I like the black too.
Silver is a bit of a neutral colour for a bike anyway I feel, so many 11rs are silver ... not that I'm contemplating buy one ... much.

You'll get over it.
Couldn't get his address from anywhere without asking him and that would have given the game up.

I think the black looks pretty good goes well with the main colour

Send whisky? To Scotland? Isn't that like sending coal to Newcastle
.... of course we could send some Welsh stuff
