Also, the rear appears to be machined aluminum, while the front is cast, so I don't even think it would be possible to match in terms of finish.



I am considering chroming the front wheel and forks as I already have the chrome fork shrouds. Hopefully it will not be too much of a mismatch with the machined aluminium rear wheel. Either way, I can only picture it being better than it currently is.
