I love my BRG Trophy 900, but the dark grey wheels and black fork lowers make the bike look rather stodgy. I've seen a procedure for stripping the paint off of alloy rims using "aircraft paint stripper" (I think it's on the Yahoo Trophy Group). I was thinking of masking off the wheels so I'd only strip the rim itself. I'm sure the fork lowers would be a different story. Probably have to wait until next winter and send them out for polishing, and rebuild the front end while it's apart.
Anybody else "chrome out" their Trophy (got pics?), or are Trophy riders a no-nonsense bunch?

I think it would look nice on a BRG Trophy Neil. I don't know if I would do it on mine though. Mines Platinum and I don't think the contrast would be good enough.
