Member Contributer 46alpha Posted October 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 7, 2010 Ok, I've made more than a few promises to post pics of my new wheels. Sadly, I've been slacking. So here you go..... Thanks to Seb for the find and Greyghost08 for the great wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 46alpha Posted October 7, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 7, 2010 Nice! Powdercoat? Yep. I had a slight .... ahem..incident. Both my rims were badly damage. GrayGhost had them listed up here for sale and Seb pointed them out. I wasn't a big fan of the gold till I saw them in person. They have really grown on me tho. I love how they look on some more sportier bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TheBigCheese Posted October 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 7, 2010 You kids! Old guys invented cool. 1974 John Player Special Lotus Formula 1, and Lotus factory paint jobs since then, and a million aftermarket paint jobs. Google Image search for "John Player Special" The real deal: On a 1985 BMW R65: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hard to imagine this bike being any sexier, but I bet if someone p'shopped the wheels gold, there would be many broken marriages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 ...huh. Why would someone put all that wonderful time into that bike and not bother to finish it? Gold wheels FTW. Kenny Dreer and the Norton American company he created went their separate ways a couple of years ago. I don't believe any of the Dreer Nortons were delivered. The company lingered as a corporate zombie until it sold the Norton brand name back to a company in the UK in 2008 (see the old thread somewhere in this section, 'Norton Goes Home'). We've speculated on this forum whether the designs for the Dreer Norton were included in the sale - but I've heard no definitive news. One can only hope, but in this shattered economy can Norton be revived? ... http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/bikes/ Still no gold wheels though...

Guest Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Here's another goldie. Just paint, but it holds up very well anyhow. Notice the stand. I've had this for years, do not recall where I got it, but I have used it on many ss swing arm bikes and plan to stick it in the VFRs orifice, too.
