Powder coating on the wheels?

[ludva12345_imp]

black wheels are better ..

I don't know that there is anyone who likes the black/silver wheels on the 2013 CB1100 more than I do. Probably my favorite feature of the bike. But even I have to vote nay in this case.

To me the '14 DLX vibe is different: a bit less sporty /a bit more conservative and classy. Looking at the images provided, I just don't think that black wheels work nearly as well as the OEM silver wheels do as the silver wheels nicely compliment the silver engine (and vice versa).

Guth,

I really like the two tone wheels on the 2013 CB11. Second for me would be all silver. Black loses too much detail. I'm just not a fan of all blacked out stuff. I like the two tone engine on the 2013 bikes as well.

Nay from me also, I much prefer the silver.

BTW, I installed type2 low handle bar and love it so much!
Feel like cruiser bike transformed to sports bike.

Dude, I have been following this thread because I enjoy all the codgers who see your interest in black rims as a desecration of the DLX D), but after looking at your Photoshop image a dozen or so times I really like the black side covercovers. Silver looks sedate to me, though beautiful. Even though the CBs are not sport bikes, I don't want mine to look tranquil! I will definitely be replacing the side covers like you did. The low bars also look sano, I will be copying them as well. Thanks for the indirect inspiratinspiration!

Oh, and get those rims blacked out already!

Codgers? :dodgy:

Thanks for all your opinions! Really appreciate it.
I decided to keep those wheels natural silver.
If I put Moriwaki black dual pipes someday, then I'll think about black rims again.

 

[Gsnyder70_imp]

Very well. A respectable decision that reveals the inherent truth that with these bikes there are no bad choices; they always look fantastic!

 

[Riko_imp]

you could also go for the dual colored rims, black center with silver edge?


than you got the best of 2 worlds

 

[olekzap_imp]

My vote is for black.

Our Canadian 2014's came with the black center and shiny edges like above and I really like that look.

Ooh, that combo look is nice, like I have on my Mustang:


Otherwise I vote for silver.

I don't think my DLX looks all that "tranquil".

I don't think I quite qualify as a codger at 42, but I got your back!

 

[EarsOnWheels_imp]

Go for the black!

 

[EarsOnWheels_imp]

And get a black front fender too. You'll look slick.

If you were closer to me, I would suggest a swap of my black ones for your silver.
