    I try to be open minded, thus the reason for opening up this thread. I believe to each his own, but honestly this is like putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.........

    Just doesn't seem 'natural', I know!!!

    I could see OEM rear and chrome front, if chrome was ones passion. Chrome does requires regular cleaning, and the rear wheel is a bugger to access if you don't have a tall lift/ table. Yet another reason to use the OEM rear.

    FWIW, do not 'alter' your F6B rims unless you are positive you'll never want to use/sell 'em. GL rims are far more plentiful than OEM F6B rims,,, The dealer I got me rear wheel/tire combo from only had 1 F6B wheel and wanted more $$ for it than the GL wheel,,, I took the GL wheel.

    Choptop ...are you pulling the rotors as well? .... be careful before YOU give away a part you will have to buy again!!!

    If I go the swap route w/the chromer, I strip my wheels and send just the wheel back to him. By the way, that shim?, on the front wheel, he chromes them for around 50.00 . I would obviously put back on the new wheels, what I took off. Still looking at this option, once I get a bike, and I am getting closer, I will still have (3) months before I can ride.

    Have a table lift and love it. The chromer takes my rims plus $'s in the deal other wise it is 600.00 more w/out exchange and I don't think I can get 600.00 for these rims on the open market, but I could be wrong.

    Are we talking cartridge for the front or lowering shock for the rear ?
