Thanks roadworthy and Dunnspeed for the comments.
The rims were supposed to have a thin off white pinstripe along the outer edges, and that was the hold up. But ended up going back to the original all black idea.

Looking at it now I'm glad I did.
Now I'm itching to get on with the next mods.
I still want to remove the bottom fork shrouds and replace them with gaitors.
Then chop the rear fender and replace the original tail light with a Lucas tail light.
Either cut or try and find a second hand SM front fender.
And lastly doing something about the side cover with that skew stuck on America sticker that grates me every time I look at it. Maybe I'll just matt black that cover, seeing as the bottom half of the bike is mostly matt black.

Dunnspeed, no issues without the chain gaurd. I do get a bit of chain lube flick up onto the sides of the rear fender but nothing Clean Green doesn't sort out.
