Hello all

I'm just about to get Mrs DSs R1 wheels powder coated - they're a bit of a mess (the previous owner had the rims polisthed alloy and the spokes and hubs yellow vomit so I sprayed them about 13 years ago). I'm slowly getting the bike back to a good, original condition.

It's a 1999 red and white one - anyone know what the correct RAL code for a factory colour on these wheels would be? Or failing that should I just go for a nice satin black or something?

Mrs DS on the offending bike....

The early R1 OE wheel colour, was a gloss black finish.

Perfect! I hope they can blast it back and get that level of smoooooooothness.
I'll print that off and take it with me and show them.

Thanks biggrin
