hi chris
for some reason i don't think gold wheels go with a red bike, i like a gunmetal grey personally. or what kev did, the same colour as the later engine cases.
as for forks, its either black or silver, i know thats not very daring :lol:
have you still got the bin on the back :wink:

Your bike is spotless and looks good the way it is, (minus the rack) :) , be careful with too much bling, you could turn it into a dogs dinner. :sick:

It's down to personal choice. Ducati think gold wheels work with a red bike and so do I, but only a certain shade of gold paint does IMHO.

White wheels look very good with a red paint job, same for Blue paint too, Yeh white wheels with red rim tape would look great, there was some for sale cheap on ebay in Preston have a look if they are still there

i think its the link pipes that are to long on that bike mate, they could do with 3 to 4 inches being cut off, it looks like a red wheel barrow at the mo.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
