Found a set of alloys today, and gave it a try... :roll:

Not decided so far, but with black centers it can be interesting.

Installed fog lights, painted the wheel centers to black. Placed an order for chromed bolts, and now looking for center cap set on ebay.

That's how they're supposed to be done. Stainless, though.

Thanks for kind words, gentlemen.

wkohler is right IMHO, the Alpinas look best with the original centers and bolts.

Now I know, that they are stainless, not chromed. :oops:

Replaced the windshield chrome trim.

I have ordered two front ones, the rear set is bit pricey, compared to a front one. You can cut the front one to three pieces, it is long enough for the rear windshield. :alright:

Great Thread, Keep up the good work

(Cool color too- reminds me of a "Moss" Green 71 BSA Thunderbolt 650 I used to have)
