Very nice, I hear that BMW is about to change the style of the "R" but to me, The looks of the current ones will be hard to beat. I would also like to say the bike is not the only thing looking good, The weather looks great.
Here it is all white! Den

That looks really good. I've also been contemplating a black pc for my wheels for some time now. How about a left side pic as well? Thanks in advance.

That red pinstripe is a nice touch. I powder coated my wheels within 3 months after purchasing my bike in late 2001.

Do the fork tubes too. I never got around to the valve covers, but wanted to...

Wanted to do the same thing to mine, except in blue. How hard was it to accomplish the paint stripe? I put the regular pinstriping on my self, but wasn't trying to get to technical with the rims.

Beautiful bike

I would leave the paint stripe up to a professionial unless you have a back lash indicator and you can set it up dead on......
