I was wondering the same. I really think matching the wheels to the bike would be a nice touch. Have you removed your decals yet? I'm thinking of removing mine to clean it up and give it that storm trooper look lol.

Funny you ask! I started right after I posts this. Im not removing all, just the squiggles on the front cowling and below the Kanji

BUT.... I heated them up with a hair dryer as I usually do to remove decals and peeled them off fairly easily in one piece.

However, there is a fairly thick adhesive residue still on the plastics.

Safe way to take this off without damaging anything?

Thanks

I messaged the guy in this link. He said WD-40 took the adhesive residue right off. He took all decals off and his bike looks slick. I will probably start out like you suggested with the nose and lower fairing stickers and see how much that cleans it up. Supposedly its really easy with a blow dryer. I have a feeling I will be doing this before the week is over.

Goo Gone. I had to remove the old owner's military stickers off the front fender, got all of the residue off without a problem. I also used it to remove the residue on my helmet after I removed the Snell sticker on the back. Works great, and doesn't harm the paint. Just put it on a washcloth to apply it with and a clean washcloth to remove it with. Good luck.

Thanks Guys

Ive been using wd40 and goo gone, tried one on each side. They work about the same, but definitely not an easy one wipe ordeal! Bike looks much cleaner/meaner without the decals there though!

It would sure be nice if one of our photo shop savvy pals could put white wheels on a white 2011.....
