chris-bartlett 500 Enfield - Black Rims concept

Previous Image | Next Image

Description: Now that I have the larger 4.00 x 19" tires, I was trying to decide whether to paint the rims black or leave them chrome. This is what it would look like.

MotoJ Ride Fast and Take Chances! Grease Monkey Karma: 0 Posts: 402 Poverty Rider	July 13, 2010, 01:36:04 PM Heya, Chris, Saw this pic on your Flikr account too. Most excellent. Where did you get the tail-light? Is it a vintage piece or did you get lucky on EBay? It looks great. If you painted the rims and hub, would you powder coat them or just some auto enamel? Please PM me if you can, Motoj

DNash Idiot Bulleteer Karma: 0 Posts: 180 '01 Military - "Rocinante"	April 27, 2010, 10:08:51 PM I'd stick to the chrome rims, personally. It's a sharp-looking bike, though, to be sure. The front mudguard - which I assume to be a 350 front mudguard mounted on 500 stays, to get it off those Big Manly Tires - looks cool. It's reminiscent of the mudguard on the J and J2.

chris-bartlett Bulleteer Karma: 0 Posts: 191	September 29, 2009, 10:26:36 PM Hey Chris, the tires are not from CMW. They handle great, ride very smooth. My stock front tire was too sensitive to the road for my taste. The roads aren't great in NC (getting better), but the stock front tire would catch every uneven groove, crack and patch which was a little spooky. Plus, I like the look of the bigger tires.

chris-bartlett Bulleteer Karma: 0 Posts: 191	September 28, 2009, 08:56:31 AM Thanks Chop. If I had a Military, I'd definitely put these 4.00 x 19's on it. Went for a ride this weekend and that's the first thing someone mentioned - "Wow are those military tires?"
Porkchop Scooter Karma: 0 Posts: 67	September 28, 2009, 08:34:30 AM Rims (and shocks) would looks great like that. And by great...I mean badass and tough. Really, your bike is looking cooler every time you post a picture of it here on the site. Those tires looks fantastic and I'm totally inspired to throw them up on my military now. That new ACE filter fits perfectly, good call. Looks like I've just put some new items on my 'to buy' list. Way to go, my vote: go black on the rims.
