Thanks for all the replies chaps. The majority vote so far appears to be for painting it up to match.

Admittedly I quite like the idea although I also remember how good the whites that were on my old GXSR trackie years ago looked.

Its important to remember the primary reason for having these though: less weight. Whilst I always liked the looked of the BCR, my primary interest is the performance of the thing.

Theres no rush though. Having sorted the R1200 Hydraulics and got the Japanese switchgear working properly, that next job is to drop on Gus's stiffer fork clamps. And after that, theres the lightened rear subframe (thanks Tom!), Sebimoto soloseat to be painted/fitted and eventually the final drive ratio to be addressed. All before march next year.

Busy Busy Busy....

If I get the time over this weekend, I'll swap them on and take a photo.

Sans RimTape, of course..
