    Thank you! - At a lot of gas stops, I get asked "Is that new?" -- I just love to watch the OMG look on their face when I tell them its 22 years old.

    Once you have had to clean them a few times, your appreciation of them may falter a bit. Some of us know.

    Come on Randy!! I've been on this forum for a long time and every Interceptor I have owned has gotten the white rim treatment!! Definitely more work keeping them clean, but nothing looks better!!

    I admit to being the oldball foole and typical and totally unintentional...... what's popular, I'm by taste at "meh"...
    I do appreciate to each his own..not knocking anybody.... but I don't get the white wheel thing or even the 8 spoke thing. Or throw in
    clear clutch covers.....

    Too late man. I'm hurt. I'm hurt so bad, I might have to buy myself a very expensive bottle of single malt. To clean my wheels with of course. You are just a bugger!

    Want.jpg You guys crack me up, yea I just like white rims period, and no, they aren't a pain in the ass to keep clean, no more trouble than any other spot on the VFR. On that note, just yesterday I was getting on the Viffer at HD and a couple walking by say, Nice bike, is that a new model? I nodded as I had my helmet on and the bike was running, they wouldn't have heard me over the sound the Staintune lets out. FWIW this is the wheel I keep an eye out for.

    Yup. All of my bikes look as clean as that. I no doubt have OCD, so you would think that I would NOT have white rims on any of my bikes!! I need help :)
