rxSpeeD Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I've been shopping for a new exhaust after my M4 got dented and scratched up after my crash and stumbled upon SC Project. Youtube videos of the exhaust sound amazing and it looks great too. Then I saw a picture of the exhaust on a white FZ-07 with gold rims and I absolutely fell in love! I'm seriously considering powder coating my rims from black to gold, and getting gold grips and levers. My current bike just has black rims with red rim tape, red grips, and black shorty levers. What does everyone think of the white and gold color scheme on the FZ-07? Yay or nay? SC Project Exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryv Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks good, better than silver would look, but the silver bits would have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxSpeeD Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 I agree the silver bits have to go. I'm also thinking of getting the kick plate and side cover powder coated or buy the black ones from the 2016 armor gray model. Whichever is cheaper.

Beemer Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks good but I would prefer a black, ceramic coated pipe over the silver pipe. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliesv Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I like white and gold bikes, looks super moto /motard. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motomeek Posted June 8, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks good. Coming from a rider who has gold rims, he said they're a pain to keep clean. Something to consider...

jchin3081 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Great looking bike. I always wanted a white or black bike with gold rims. Guess I'll settle for the matte silver and Blue frame/wheels on the FZ that I can't match with anything (I still love it though). Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted June 9, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2016 When I read white and gold I thought "yuck", but then I looked at the photos and it looks great. The only thing I would not like it's keeping the wheels clean. I do not clean my black wheels as much as I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logiks Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 *raises hand* Alright imma come clean: I have several Rizoma Gold parts and upgrades coming in the mail very soon. I have a blurple with dark grey tank (2015) and didn't even want to bother trying to match that color. So I figured Black/Blurple with gold accents would be great. Then I considered painting my tank white (not sure if I'll go through with this yet), though I never thought of gold rims on it as well. I decided to focus on Italian parts and really try to achieve a sporty and clean look with some unique colors here. I can't wait to start posting about my project! Also excited for my Bonamici's Rearsets (black with gold accents) are coming in!!! Didn't see anyone review them yet so I thought I'd try something new. AHH YEAH so stoked! rxspeed: Thanks for the motivation! Here's what what my rig looks like now: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q487/roblogics/IMG_20160601_164153-01_zpsojnycnsu.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you make your headers, kick plate, and side covers black? Did you wrap the headers with exhaust wrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logiks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 rxspeed For the headers, I bought the biked used so it came like that. It doesn't look or feel like wrap. Not sure how it's black either, lol. I'll inspect further when I get a chance. As for the kick plates and side frame cover, I plasti-dipped them black but to be honest it didn't hold very well. Especially the kick plate. Going to either spray paint, powder coat, or just purchase the side frames from the newer model. Havn't decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattonme Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 white with gold rims is a mainstay of Japanese-market bikes. Especially Hondas. I personally love the combo and despise black rims across the board. Silver or silver machined (black) rims I can tolerate. Otherwise rims should be a useful color.

Liquidmetal Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Dark colored rims for me, anything else is too hard to keep clean looking. Quite content with the black rims on mine. Edited August 8, 2018 by Liquidmetal Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 " A thread from the dead" again. So long as it holds my tyre and stays reliable, colour of my rim is immaterial. The width , on the other hand, is an0other matter... Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
