Did you coat those yourself or buy them from Buell?

You somehow hit hard enough to bend both rims, get a flat, yet you didnt wreck? Thats awesome : )

Bet you had the tire and wheel protection coverage!



They really do look good.

Thanks Guy's ,

Teach, the tire and wheel coverage ended up being a great investment , took a little while to get the process done , and parts finally ordered , but well worth it !

Froggy , yeah , and I hit hard , slid alittle , and kept her going till i could bring her back up , I am happy about the outcome in SO many way's !

Very nice, now you just need a red windscreen with red Buell lettering and it would look factory : )

Very very nice, those wheels really "kicks it up a notch'. Takes the eye to the wheels rather then the scoops. Just beautiful!

You made a great choice, Thurstonbuell! The techs who mounted mine when I bought the bike said they just couldn't see that color combination. But after a couple of days, they said it really grew on them. I could swear that was my bike - except for the tank bag.

That looks tight! Reminds me of my bike. : ) I think those trans red wheels make the 1125R pop.

Looks gorgeous.
That's what I was going to do to Loretta, but the Amber wheels were too good of a deal to pass up.

The '08 Firebolt had a black tank with red trans letters

The red wheels make it look leaner. Looks real good.
