I agree, the wheels are spot on  but the tyres just dont seem right, maybe they're clashing with the yellow.

Keep the wheels mate.

I feel no love for the seat either, lightening bolt's too lairy for that ride, (IMO that is) upsets the balance but its a beautiful bike in every other aspect including the wheels  :)

Agree with above - keep the wheels and change the tyres to something like Comp ST's.

Totally agree with daz on this one. I always try and stick to 2 colours on my builds.
I too would loose the seat, spider and I'd go amber/skinwall on the tyres for sure. Maybe also loose the white pads and change for black? yellow and black looks rad but white detracts from it.

Agree with daz i think, although the tyres and pad set seam to complement each other i would try the seat and  spider.

But at the end of the day its your ride, its what ever tickles your balls! :daumenhoch:

looking good
