Like it! How the heck do you guys keep those white rims so clean? Is there something to be said about ceramic brakes or somesuch? I'm running original organic pads and have to clean up almost every trip I take - and I ain't hard on them stoppers either.

Here is Electra after i have done a few things over the summer/fall.

I Plasti Dip some mirror caps i found for $20 on craigslist and plasti dip the front grille. I wanted to see how it would look black and i am loving it.

I also replaced my fog light bulbs with Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs. I wanted them to be more yellow so I tinted my fog & turn signals with Yellow tint. Than did my tail lights with Red tint.

My plans this Spring/Summer is to paint my roof, mirror caps and grille at my buddys shop. I am going to go flat black. I will remove the White strips and either have no strips or go with a different style strip in flat black.

Than hopefully get a new set of rims in flat black. (or at least just Plasti Dip the ones i have for the mean time)

Hope you like Electras new look.

Owner of an R50 in BRG/W. But I do love Electric Blue- I get a big smile every time I see one. That's one of the reasons I jumped on getting the free one that was on offer a while back. You all have made a good choice!

I've had mine about 2 1/2 years. Always puts a smile on my face. Put the stripes on about a year after I got him. I don't see hardly any around. Would love to get a few together this summer
