WHat a great thread with some excellent pics and great touch-up work as well.

Personally I think a 900ss looks old-fashioned with the white wheel and frame and as for cleaning !!!

The colour wheels you have at the moment I think, look great but, I do love my gold front Marchesini - I just wish I could afford a rear one

Gold Dymags maybe?

Frank...What you need to do is sell me your front to match this back mag one ive got...weve got the reverse problems

Remind me...(I think your ss runs on the same spindle size as my 888)..was this a custom fit wheel or did you get a 9** one and change the bearings..if so how easy was it ??

Cheers
Nat

My front is full racing Megnesium wheel that I got well and truely mugged for on Ebay germany. (But I wanted it !!!)

I'd vote you get the wheels painted white, why well look at your second post "Attachment: Dream.jpg"
Why compramise a dream just becase other people may not agree

Ps white wheels aren't to bad to keep clean if you wax them every other clean

Wot about red wheels? My last 900ss had them. It looked very, er, different..
(Just moved home Nat, and took a week off to unpack/paint/decorate etc. Luvverly pastime - even beats doing timber decking!)

Do alpinestars make stilletoes to match your white wheels?
Honestly, what can you be thinking??
I've just blacked up my SP5 wheels as the silvery gold colour looked a bit poofy.
Had black wheels also on my '92 851.
You may be wondering if white will look OK - bottom line is it may look OK, but black will look awesome.

Well I`ve done it,white wheels that is,the bikes still not finished yet but the majority is done.Still got the rad,clutch hose,suspension set up and some more new fastners to do and the rest of the carbon body work,but the family has taken president over the last three months so it`s took longer than I`d like,but it`ll be worth it in the end
