So this winter I have a mod I am wanting to do and I want an opinion on this. I want to get my wheels machine polished. The other question is should the headers match the wheels. I have the option to ceramic coat the headers chrome or black. Should I do a matching set or just keep the black headers with machine polished wheels. Also it will match with the grill.

I like the black headers with the black wheels, but given the polished look of the radiator and the rims being polished, I'd probably polish the headers too. Just my opinion.
 
+1 on the above.

That would make an already sick looking Fizzy that much sweeter.

Good looking bike. :)

Polished wheels, ceramic coated headers! Win!

Just be prepared to be fastidious with your cleaning regime....

It's bloody hard work keeping it all looking super duper!

:D

I think you should have the headers chromed to match the wheels ....and get an 07 front fender and paint it silver to match the Tank,and fairings... :rockon: :D

The 07 fender was re designed with a set of sporty ;ittle angular fins that would go better with the head light seat cowl and rad covers better IMO... heres one in carbon fiber.....and truth fully it would be a good thing to polish your wheels everyday,or at least give them a wipe down.....give you a chance to look your bike over to make sure everything is happy and holding hands together....

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm waiting for a callback on a quote. I'm looking so far for $200usd for both wheels. $125 for headers. Just waiting for a call back.

Thanks again!
 
Either would look great, (although I'm slightly leaning toward black headers...but it's not my bike).
I think a silver or chromed front fender would look better, irregardless.
Either way - that is one sharp ride!
