Blingalicious!

Haven't seen Carla, one of our FJR riding partners, in a while. This is why:

These are the stock '05 rims that have been polished (subbed out to the tune of $300) and custom painted Galaxy Blue by Carla, herownsef. She has no idea how many hours she has into hand sanding the spokes, center rim and hubs smooth enough for painting. My guess: A-friggin-lot! Even the wheel weights are polished to a mirror finish! :blink: Oh, yeah, those are custom painted calipers, too.

Anyway, these look friggin' killer in the, um, flesh. The only detractor is the stock valve stems. Carla said she couldn't find any. Jeff, you have a new customer coming your way. What's the commission on that, anyway?

Brilliant execution!

Perhaps the nicest looking front end on an FJR I've seen to date.

Now she just needs a custom grill from Mr Bling

Very nice...I like it. And thats front and BACK!

 

[exskibum]

WOW -- those are gorgeous! That took a lot of patience.

 

[Ric in Sac]

Absolutely stunning! :clapping:

 

[kaitsdad]

Obviously a huge amount of effort went into this, very nice !!

And note the use of LED light strips in place of the cheesy reflectors - just out of curiosity, are they wired into the signals?

Neat idea!

 

[twowheelnut]

Nope, they are wired as running lites.

 

[eeksnake]

Absolutely beautiful! Great job. :clapping:

Wow, you'd think jesse james or the teutals dropped by.

Naw, this is a way classier & more professional than anything any of those people (?) do. It's not cut to fit, drilled out or hand welded.

 

[odot]

Hook, line, and sinker.

 

[mdisher]

Looks great!

Not for me though, if they are that shiny then there's an expectation that they'll be clean too.

They are just carbon look tube covers. She picked them up at the local shop, so I'd imagine they're commonly available.

Yep, 'cept it's on the home computer. If I remember, I'll toss it up tonight.

Did she shoot clear over the polished rims too?
