Lint Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 S100 and a good soft wheel brush. Also, take the time to put a few coats of a paint sealant or a high quality wax on them. This will help make it easier to clean them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaylor38 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Otaylor, looks great....what kind of rear hugger is that and is it attached to the chain guard? Thanks Otaylor, looks great....what kind of rear hugger is that and is it attached to the chain guard? Thanks I dont know mate, it was on the bike when i got it. Yeah its a chain guard too. I'll get you some more pics if you're interested? In other news. I still havent fully decided on a colour. Not sure if white is too overpowering. I like this colour....

Otaylor38 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So first ride of the year for me today. Bit chilly at 3 degrees in places but thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyway. I dont want white wheels, im pretty certain now. Its gonna be too much to keep clean. I only covered 45 miles today and look at the picture below. It was immaculate when i set off. Although i am a complete OCD clean freak when it comes to the bike and car, I feel white will be even too much for me as itll show the dirt so badly. I dont think itd ever look clean? Another vote for the colour in my previous post i think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on a ride with your new 8 spoke wheel and don't even invite the person who helped you acquire it? I feel so used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otaylor38 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Defo cant ride it now. Its in the garage with no front wheel on! I've asked the local bike shop to whip the tyres off and bearings out. He says thatll be done by tomorrow. Got the powdercoater ready and waiting earlier So fingers crossed, I'll have it done for weekend! I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted October 16, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does anyone have pictures of a '08 Sword Silver with color matched or otherwise 8 spoker? I just got one as well and not sure what direction I want to go....... Should I have created my own thread for this? Does anyone have pictures of a '08 Sword Silver with color matched or otherwise 8 spoker? I just got one as well and not sure what direction I want to go....... Should I have created my own thread for this? Yep. The rear is as-is from a 1992 model. Not an exact match but so close I didn't feel it necessary to spend the extra cash to re-do it. Got around to re-finishing the wheel this summer. The Honda color for the 1992 wheel is "Iron Nail Silver" NH-167D. I had it matched by ColorRite. It's very expensive - $34 for a rattle can - but wow did it come out nice. It dries very quickly - seems like much better quality paint than other brands I've used. The clear will orange peel quite a bit, but color sanding with 1500 sandpaper and some polishing makes it pop. Time will tell how it holds up - my guess is no worse than the OEM Honda paint.
