I think it will look great! Can't wait to see some pictures once you have them on.

Bling bling!

I was thinking about ordering a set in black for the motard. I can get them for $500 less than Marchesini's.

I think you should have ordered them in Gold and had them shipped to my house.

Thanks, everyone. My rear tire is just about worn out so as soon as the wheels arrive, I'll get them installed. Weather permitting, of course. Got the 60,000 mile service done yesterday. Man, she runs like new again. Greg from Hyperbike also did a compression test and it showed close to 200 PSI per cylinder. He said that's pretty good for a bike with 60,434 miles. He put Mobil 1 racing 4t oil again, changed the plugs, bled brakes and clutch, pretty much checked the whole bike and the only thing I need soon is a new chain. I'm not surprised. That chain has over 30,000 miles on it. It's the EK ZZZ. He couldn't believe the bike is only 2 years and 2 months.

What bike are they going on?

Hopefully you notice a difference. I'm interested to see the results.

Glad she got a clean bill of health.
