THAT'S a WHOLE LOTTA RED!!!
 

When I (we) bought the wifey's 550H1 2wks ago, I added a set of RED AC LE rims into the mix for my TRV. I've been aiming for a subtile RED THEME for the machine since I bought it last summer. Nothing drastic, just right right mix to complement the already good looks of the CAT, and to satisfy my serious OCD condition... .....that my wife i certain I suffer from........

I think it turned out really good. Here's the TRV in it's "summer" configuration since I couldn't wait for the snow to actually MELT......

ENJOY:

i like the rims. id like to find someone to pain the gray on my alum rims red to match.

is yours the oem paint?

yea they are. It's AC's LE rim(s). The don't offer them in RED anymore, just black. It was dumb luck that my AC dealer still had a set(4).

I was "on-the-fence" about getting them (no other chrome on machine), but I have NO regrets now. I'm happy with the theme I was aiming for.

oh nice SPORTSMAN 500. I like the red rear rack extention.

AC makes a 550 now? Are they twins or single cylinders? I always like the look of AC and there massive 6+ gal gas tanks.

Yep. AC dropped the carb'd 650 and made a 550EFI in '09. It's AC's H1 single cyl platform.

I'm actually pretty impressed with the wife's new 550 sofar. It's pretty snappy and rides really nice. I'll be in a better position to offer a more detailed opinion after she(we) get's some miles on it and breaks-it-in.

ya the rear rack exstender i had gotten for $20 from the dealer becuse it was blue and didnt match any of the new models. the was a paint shop across frm my wrok. i asked how much theyed charge to paint it. they said just drop it of tonight and pic it up tomorrow night. i asked how much. they said nothing. it isent the exsact color. but it better than blue, and free it evon better. but now iv been job less since nov/08 so no more free paint jobs for me.
