I'm wondering about the different colors of ST1300 wheels. Black, silver, gold, others? Was it something you ordered from the dealer or did it represent something about the bike? Did one color paint job come with one color wheels?
I've just been curious.

There have been exactly two wheel colors on North American ST1300s: Black on 2003s and silver on everything else. I think the same was true for the Pan European, but I'm not positive.

Anything else is custom.

To re-coat them nice and new-looking again , I guess powder coat is good if you can afford it , but Dupli-Color makes a nice durable polyurethane silver Wheel paint , HWP101 silver , you can get at NAPA & I think AutoZone ( silver & black 12 oz spray can , 1 can per wheel ) It's a silver that is really shiny metallic in a clear that doesn't dull as soon as you touch it like a lot of silvers . I've used it many other places like various brackets holding MC accessories , if I don't paint it black then it's this paint. Just got done repainting my spare wheels with double - darkside tires mounted , with this silver paint . ( a shade brighter silver than the stock OEM color )

When I was shopping for my 2004 ST-1300, I picked up a brochure @ DFW Honda in Grapevine, TX. The wheels are black on the photo on the cover. I guess Honda either Photoshopped the cover or used 2003 black wheels on an early 2004 production model. My 2004 came with gray wheels.
Regards,
Terry

Some of Honda decision baffle me. I'd like black wheels on my 04. Any one know if the black and gray can be swapped?

PlastiDip, made mine black last year and they are still looking it. No pain repairing it or removing it if I decide too.

I hate the black wheels on my 2003 ABS model. Shows every speck of dirt and every imperfection. The only reason I don't paint them silver is they will not match the master cylinders on the bars.

If we weren't on opposite sides of the country and I would trade Master cylinders in a heartbeat.

I think I have a set of black rims in my extra parts! I have no idea their condition, since they were given to me with a bunch of parts. I would have to check them the next time I'm in my storage.
