Guest Desertman Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am buying 2 wheels for my VFR RWB,and I am looking at powder coating them Anodized gold. I was wondering what if any parts are recommended when changing over wheels? Also if anyone has pics on RWB with gold rims that would be great! And a used front wheel for sale.

Member Contributer vanion2 Posted June 26, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wheel bearings are the only thing that comes to mind but it depends on the mileage. If they are relatively low mileage I wouldn't bother replacing them. Just make sure you remove them before you send them off for powder coating.

wera803 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wheel bearings and seals for sure. You can't leave them in for powdercoating and the only way to get them out is beat on the inner race which means they shouldn't be reused. New valve stems as well. I get the wheel bearings from All Balls Racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I dunno about the gold wheels on the RWB. Maybe someone could photoshop it for us, but I'm just not feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer goose Posted June 28, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just recently had my wheels done in gloss black. The bearings in the front wheel have to be replaced. Don't forget new valve stems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VietHorse Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wow... that looks cool. Remember to post some pics after final installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I saw it somewhere but can't seem to find the pic with it done. I'm not sure myself and I would like to see the pic. again Maybe white but afraid it will stain and difficult to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
