My old fella's '95 K75 combination needs a front wheel, I'm led to believe the bearing pockets are getting tired probably due to the abnormal forces with the sidecar fitted.
He's sourced the correct wheel from Motorworks but as would be expected it's in very typical condition for a 20+ year old wheel and looks pretty grubby and dull ... his existing wheels are in fab condition because it's always garaged, only goes out in the sunshine, he's 80 and rides everywhere at 40mph, it's regularly washed etc, etc!
So what would be the best way to spruce up the new wheel? As far as I can tell they're not powder coated, but are they bare alloy or maybe anodised? He'll fit a new tyre and bearings so there's plenty of time to get it sorted, but I'd prefer to do it properly.
