    Hi all, new member to this Triumph Forum here from South Lincolnshire. My name is Paul, I have a 2011 1050 Speed Triple which I am loving in my advanced years. Less back and neck ache than my GSX-R1100. Having been a motorcycle engineer since the mid 70's I do all my own maintenance. Jeeze, am I really that old :eek::)

    Thanks, had some pothole induced wheel damage straightened and decided on a colour change as it looked like the previous owner had cleaned the wheels with a very strong acid or a Brillo pad

    I think the red wheels has made the bike look lighter, a weight wise illusion, and I don't think they looks out of place. Certainly much better looking than the matte black.
