I don't think so, but I also think your mod list is awesome.

Well they were professionally painted, then idiots at NTB chipped 2 of them up. The paint should have lasted a long time...I had the tires off and on a few times before that and never had a mark. After that I decided I wanted a 275 on the back so I got thruxtons and put snow tires on the old 18s.
