    BatmobileRR. Too much pinstriping isn't a good thing.

    Got a roll of 1/6" red reflective pin striping from http://www.reflectivedecals.com/stripes.htm

    Did all 4 sides of the wheels...still had a bunch of tape left, so I started striping...and didn't stop.

    Not thrilled with the look, but at least it's unique. I'll peel it off in a few weeks. I like the tail the best.

    The tape is RED. It looks a little orange in some photos, cause the flash was making it reflect. At night, it looks like a red Tron bike.











    Someone on 600rr.net pointed out that it looks like:

    Which I hadn't realized, and is funny as hell.

    I like it but take that with a grain of salt because I'm from the South, the land that spawned these kinds of.... things:









    Formerly MRA #211 - High Precision Racing

    "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Paint the gray parts black and you're set. I like the pinstripes.

    wait, so wheels have *4* sides?

    You might have over done it, and wasn't the RED TRON bike the "bad guy" ? you should have used BLUE!

    If the striping matches the rim color, then i say it looks good.

    I responded on the other forum, and still think it looks better stealth.

    Black on Black looks the best imo. I'll trade you my red one if you like red

    Re: BatmobileRR. Too much pinstriping isn't a good thing.

    Hey I saw some guy go by on a black R1 with red pinstriped wheels (on 4 sides) this morning.


    All thanks to you, a new look is born.
