RED monochromatic tail bob job

I've seen a bunch of mono-black work and have been impressed and inspired.
Took the subframe off (a fine example of Ducati's dedication to agile manufacturing and assembly.... geeez) had it powdercoated Ducati red. Took the cheap termi 2:1 plastic bodywork and had it wet painted Ducati red.
Took the metal substructure of the stock license plate holder and welded a metal strip to the back, mounted both the plate and the plate light to the strip plate. Next will be the yellow coil, perhaps the wheels... what do you guys and gals (ya never know) think about doing the wheels red? a bit worried about adding a pound of unsprung reciprocating mass....

see attached pics...

Looks good, I painted my bogus plastic pieces a few months back and like the look too. I like the subframe grey however because in my opinion I think the red tail pieces break it up perfectly. A black subframe would also look good I think. Anyway overall nice work.
