Did you rattle can the wheels too? Looks good by the way. I rattle canned an old '83 Honda once and with some elbow grease and some rubbing compound it turned out really good, for rattle can. |

I traded my black wheels for the set of silver with the polished lip. That's one thing I really like about the XB bikes... you can play Mr.Potato Head with them an mix and match parts |

Sharp! Do anything special to the paint to make it look so smooth? I've always heard you're supposed to "wet sand", or something like that. Any time I've ever attempted smoothing paint, I just scratch it all to hell. ~SM |

nah... it look bad if you get up close... but its not a parking lot queen. I do like the silver.. I wish it was a color option for the plastics from the factory way back when.... |
