      Looks nice..

      If it comes apart I'd paint the inside of the rim black or a accent color for the bike.. And clean that hub up..
      Is the new hardware going to be stainless or black oxide?

        When the sun hit that rim you can`t even look at it! So "irregularities" won`t even be seen.

          NOT!!! These rims are classics,this is the way they came in the 80`s.

            I had thought they came apart also but they are tack welded all the way around All new hardware WILL be stainless

              Got some more done this long weekend...the front rim is done minus a tire which I have. Just waiting for a inner tube to install the tire. Polishing is a pain in the azz!!!! A lot of work to have some "BLING" all of the nuts and bolts have been replaced with stainless hardware and bearings cleaned and repacked...

                    nice, it will be beautiful with some kandy colors that are out these days!
                    cant you soda blast the rims then polish for a better clean look?, and sand blast the rotors ,it will make the surface nice and grippy for the pads

                    i remember those kinda bars,they were on alomost every kz on the road around here in the late 80's to early 90's even ltd's lol everyone had a drag kz lolol

                                Early CCR wheels, late 80s build (88 750 body style) not much before that even pro stockers used real close to factory bodies, if not some factory pieces.
