Wondering if anyone has a link to a good place to find the flame pods. I tried a couple sites and no luck on the order. It was in England I believe for one of them. Any help would be great.
Also I was wondering about rims. Mine have seen better days. Mostly the front rim has a bit of pitting and a lot of dark spots. I thought it would be nice to have some chrome up there. Something nice! Does anyone make aftermarket wheels for these?
Thanks,
Bryan

I'd forget about aftermarket but there are good techniques for polishing, starting with wet n dry sandpaper to smooth the pits.

You can polish those rims you have to look just like chrome. Then take them and get them powdered coated im clear.  cooldude not sure what flame pods are  ???

I might polish them out. I would just hate to have my bike out of commission for as long as it might take. The satisfaction might be worth it. I only have a couple hours a week to put into it. Might take a month or so. I might start to get a nervous twitch if I cant ride for over a month!
Flame pods are the velocity stacks that go on the carbs. They look like nuclear power plant towers. The flame pod part are led lights that go inside and replicate fire in the carbs.

At one time, he was gonna market something like that to go in your velocity stacks.  Don't know if he ever did.  

Here's his site (stuff he offers isn't always listed on his site)....
