That's a really unique look and might be a great compliment to the orange/black Nightster. Gives me something (else) to think about spending money on. lol

Thanks for the pics!

It looks nice. I was thinking about doing just the tips in CP, as well as a few other details on my bike then getting the copper nipples for the spokes like these (but on different wheels/size). Copper, black, and polished can look really good if mixed right.

Yours is definitely BOLD, but it still looks good.

MAN the copper looks awesome. you got to it before I could lol. I have copper plated wheels on my VW golf and I was thinking about doing it on my nightster, but now look like I have to come up with another idea.

If they're cleared, they should not change color. I'm kind of surprised clearcoat could withstand the heat though....

I've seen a couple guys run copper wheels with black spokes and I dig that a lot. Careful - it's very easy to achieve overkill if you do too many parts.
