I've stripped the Superlight and whilst apart I've decided after seeing others on the site topaint the wheels Satin Black.
So follow the links and see what you think!

Hopefully the feed back will be good and I won't have to repaint them back to the silver gold colour that nobody seems to be able to match.

Looks very nice Pete,
Just a quick question, what have you cleaned your calipers with, mine have ingrained sort of brake dust that doesn`t seem to come off where as yours look like new, same goes for the bottom of your forks, have you buffed them up ???
We will have to meet up this summer seeing as you are close by

Good work Sir - photo's when all back together please!

[900SL Pete]

Ian,
I clean the wheels and calipers with several house hold cleaners.
Halfords wheel clean.
'Cillit Bang' is also good for cleaning wheels/ calipers but test on an area first.
You know the scouring pads the missus uses with foam on one side and green gauze on the other, works well with T-cut mixed with white spirit,
but not all the above together.
Try one after the other starting with the latter.
Hope this is a good tip.

P.S. Ian did you see my post on your string about air box modifications:

Thanks for that Pete, I never thought of raiding under the kitchen sink
Saw your reply re. filter, I am now on the lookout for a K&N and dynajet kit to gain me a few extra ponies
