More mods!!

Had the wheels polished the other day!! Farking impressed at the finish on them!! Spent a short while the other day fitting the Ozzy knobs and decided to do some extensive weight reduction on the bike while i was at it. Ala, removal of the pillion pegs! She is a whole 1,5kg lighter now....although, the ozzy knobs were probably about the same weight!! Still waiting for the damn shorty levers and braided brake lines!!

Very impressive mate, where did you get the rims done, and how much did they sting you?

I presume they took the wheels off, removed the tyres and refitted everything...?

I've never been a fan of the crappy flames that Kawasaki are sticking on their bikes of late, but I have to admit, with the polished rims, that doesn't look half bad!

polished outers are the shizzle!!

love it mate, looks awesome!

Ratmick,

I took the bike to Redline Motorcycles in Dandenong. Tristan there was incredibly helpfull and i'd recommend him to anyone. They charged me about $340 to do the whole thing including removing the wheels, storing the bike overnight, removing brake discs and then refit. The tyres didnt have to come off for an outter edge polish. Joey from outeredge in Narre Warren did the actual polishing. You can take your rims there and he charges alot less to do it but then you got the hassle of removing/refitting the wheels and storing the bike.
