I like my Ss sunset orange but I felt like making a change just for the fun of it. I picked up some silver wheels on ebay over the winter and had them powder coated by one of our sponsors: Grandstand Designs. Pete did a great job matching the yellow color to the set of bodywork I had left over from my previous XB9s. I got some new tires, bearings, rotors and a pulley from Liberty and here you go....

What no yellow belly?

I like the way the yellow against with the black frame of the 12, better than on the 9 IMO.

As you can see, there are no mounting brackets for him to put the cowl back on...

BTW-I think it looks great. I like it way better than with the silver frame you always see, I think it even looks cooler than it in red. : )

Thanks guys. The pictures don't really do it credit. The yellow against the charcoal frame really pops.

I say either get a black front fender, or just get a bunch of black pinstriping on the yellow fender. Just too much yellow on the lower front for my tastes...but otherwise I think the yellow rims look cool!
