I take it your OL never rides with you. They look to have a great burn angle.

I'm really diggen those pipes with apes combo. I don't think they would sweet with BB though...

Back to the origianl topic ...scrub the red wheels idea....maybe next time you get the itch for red ...just wear a red shirt or something....
My OL has her own ride. The pipes will be wrapped with black wrap. I have plenty of red shirts. That is a great idea. LOL. I jsut got tired of the longtails too and now it has led to a new set every couple for moths, these are it for a long while now. I sold the Samson's and they paid for the last 2 sets of pipes.

I really like your pipes. Her is a pic of a Deluxe I owned with black rims and chrome spokes just to give you an idea. I do think the red would look good with your black bike. JMHO.

hey doc, what if you did red anodized rims and hubs? Then you could pick up the theme here and there on the bike. Something like this--

Drew, I like your new pipes! Wasn't too sure about the red thing, but looking at the pic above changed my mind. Red could be cool. In the end, you have to do what you want. Example: I replaced the chrome wheels on my Vette for all-black ones and not everyone likes it. But I love it.

Drew,

I like it the way it is bro. The red rims look good on a flat black bike.

THey make a transparent red powder coat as well as a trans black. If that was my bad a$$ scoot I'd hit the rims red, spokes black,nips chrome and then cuz you love me for such a good idea you'd sell me a set of them cheap pipes even cheaper
