yankee99 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That ZX-10R does look really nice, but having owned a bike with white wheels before (1st-gen VFR) I know they only look nice for about two minutes into the first ride after they're washed- never again. would look good in my living room...

RubberSideDown Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'll guess you'll be easy to spot at night. I ordered HID lights (8000K- that's the rating, not the price) for better day and night visibility, but I don't think I'll take it further than that (though I might go for a Halo kit)- what the hell- bikes are supposed to be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are 8000/projectors with the 55w ballast. They are wired when the demon eyes are off the hids come on(2@ a time) high/lo works normal.

RubberSideDown Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 They're such a worthwhile upgrade- the difference is huge- I almost forgot about them ('lucky' for me the dealer screwed up the delivery schedule so I'm getting them for free in compensation for receiving the bike on Friday instead of Monday, unless he comes up with another 'sick buffalo' story...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Yeh, but finding a matt white wrap is quite tricky. Going to pock my head in that car wrap place just before you turn onto the 7 motorway on Sukhumvit Pattaya on the corner there. Anyone want some CREAM carbon vinyl sticker sheet??? "Yeh, finding a matt white wrap is quite tricky." Funny you should say that. Yesterday, on my way home from the gym I was waiting for the lights to change at Sukumvit and Thepprasit Rds when what pulls up beside me......a Mercedes Benz with a white body wrap! Around the windows they had used black. It was a carbon fibre texture, quite distinctive. So it is around! Edited June 9, 2013 by BSJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
