b12ty Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just installed wheel stripes on my bike. Let me know what you think. Had them printed up in the darkest red they had, look more orangey in the pics. Bought the set here: Ebay Chose the 6mm width, the smallest stripe that can have printing on them.

fzkenm Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The stripes look good. Nice touch adding the FJ-09. I'll have to look to see if they have them in blurple . I miss my liquid graphite FZ wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfjniner Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Looks great. I will do the same as that is one of the things I liked about the FZ. I would have traded wheels but the FZ's aren't set up for abs. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

Tracerforme Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi Ty, I'm usually not in to rim tape. But, that looks great! Nice touch with the FJ-09 bit. Good work. But, c'mon mate, lose the front & rear side reflectors. Your push bike has them, not your speed machine! Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philkin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Looks great, it is in a very vulnerable place during tire changes. I hope you do your own tire changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if I don't like em, i'll just rip em off. So far, so good. Oh, and no reflectors will get you a ticket here in Ca. :-S Ty '05 Bandit 1200s ( Blue and White ) Bandit pic 2015 FJ-09 ( RED ) FJ-09 pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, I don't do my own changes, but my tire guy's machine doesn't touch there from what iv'e watched. Time will tell.

Tracerforme Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ty, that sucks! Seriously, they'll write you a ticket for not having reflectors? Tell them they fell off! tell them they got blown off by the wind! Say anything! Good luck! Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanzach Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Okay, site rules say I need 5 posts before I'm a real Member, so here is #2: "nice rim tape." Short, sweet and not too profound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron12x Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Well done. These enhance the overall look of the bike, IMHO. Do they reflect much at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 its amazing how much of an impact that tiny detail has on the look of the whole bikeMy FZ has a red strip on the wheels and I liked that. I was a little disappointed to see that none of the new FZ's and the FJ didn't have a stripe on the wheels. I ordered 5mm stripes. I was thinking about clear coating after installing. Has anyone done that? Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R. Sleeps 8 hours (2)2005 FJR1300abs: 230,000 m 2015 FJ-09: 114,000 m (Replaced engine at 106K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
