A lot more maintenance on Stainless and alloy rims than chrome. Chain lube loves to eat in to stainless and alloy  ;)

I didn't realise that - whilst talking to my BiL (Dave) I toyed verbally with going bling with Gold Anodised Rims & Hubs. Then Hydro transfer petrol tank & panels !!

Honda CB500 K1 (new pit dug out ready)
Honda CB400 four super sport (first money pit)
