Dodgy Knees Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Had these for a while, thought I'd stick them on. Better or worse, I ain't sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 It did get a bit silly on side panels so removed those. Reflects light aswel. Gonna leave on rims for now. Honest comments appreciated...No cotton wool here. 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted December 31, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted December 31, 2019 I agree with you on the side panel decal - dont like it. The wheel stripes look good, it gives saparation from the black/black of the rim and tire but I am not a fan of lettering on bike graphics, but thats just me. I think (again, just my opinion) a solid red rim stripe that matches the red on the tank would look nice. I like small accents but think less is more, like the blacked out TRACER emblem, I think a brushed aluminum or silver would look great on the flat black. 3 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Cheers Betoney, Rim tape will stay for now. It's a bit red for my liking. Enjoying the black and grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 20,000 red FJ's out there (I don't know the actual number) but none of them look exactly like mine. 😎👍 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted December 31, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted December 31, 2019 @Dodgy KneesI think the rim decals look great, they breaks up all the black. Look forward to hearing how they hold up.👍 He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC his are Plastidipped. I vinyl wrapped mine, though, and it looks largely identical - though I removed the badging before wrapping, and honestly I regret that because the blacked out raised TRACER lettering on the front panels looks pretty good. I'd recommend plastidip vs. wrapping, however. Those panels are significantly more difficult to wrap than you'd imagine.

Dodgy Knees Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yes, I used plasti dip. I've since re done them again as white was showing, put plenty of coats on and all good. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a bit of accent here and there lifts the overall look and gives some contrast to an otherwise 'same colour' canvas. I'm a bit biased in that regard though and of course, each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 18, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 18, 2021 Reflective red rim tape, short amber led straps on the side panels, and red led strip on the back edge of the Shad top case rack,s super bright led turn running light bulbs front and rear (replaced reason with oem fronts), driving lights, headlight modulator, X Blaster Tai light and a (2nd) low tone Fiam pancake horn. Can you say conspicuous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR_DR3I Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I like the reflective wheel rim tape. Anything that adds to your visibility, especially in the evenings, is a great safety addition. I had them on my previous bikes and the FJ i just bought came with them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
