Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 4, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 4, 2013 Prior I had red rimtape, but with my new 8-spoker, I contemplated a new look. Never much liked the side look of the CF hugger so decided to get the dremel out as well. Doug was over for the motorbeurs, wife out the house so we could use the livingroom as workshop Right, some work for us... Drawing out "the hole" Have Dremel, Will Travel When rimming, a wet, soapy finger makes all the difference!! Managed to get Doug to like single malt whisky Tada!!!! Lessons learned.... donot use permanent marker... donot use engine degreaser on the outside of CF lay-up... Dremel a bit more carefully....

keny Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ha, seem you boys been busy. I have to melt your change for a while, as your CF hugger modification, but the 8 spoke rules, as the nice new brake discs and the fresh set of PP/PR2 tires. I keep the fact you used the living room as a workshop a seacret. Didn´t you just have it freshed up last fall..... EDIT: I actually think the blue rim stripes match quit ok (even I´m not a fan of rim tapes in general) as they match to the stickers whit a white cross under the seat. The red sticker on the fender would be cool just it, but whit the blue rim tape.... well not perfect. So rim tape and fender sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Marker will buff off. I don't mind te blue tape, but the red on the fender seems a bit much IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The blue rim stripes AND the red ones on the front fender need to go. If you really want rim stripes for visibility, get the ones that look pretty much black in ordinary light, but are reflective at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 6, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2013 Better? PS: the rear rim I will do after the new tire has been spooned on (in a few weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted September 6, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2013 The only rim stripes I'd consider are the ones lit by a laser light - gives the bike a Tron look at night. Very Cool. IMHO. Carbon is nice by it's self. Don't distract with stripes. Two Thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRad704 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It took you 6 months to get the crooked stripes off the fender and put on some Honda stickers? What you been doin over there?? :) I really like the blue stripe near the CF, but I don't love it on your red bike. Just my own preference. I DO love the Gen 4 rotors though. Much better than my Gen3 slanted design.... Where'd you get all the CF pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadiantonRob Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I like it. The blue stripes that is. Course, I'm partial to Aprilia and they do that sort of thing. Red bikes/blue rims and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 7, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2013 I hear ya Timmay! What about losing the blue tape but applying the Honda VFR logo (on the then black rims)?? I like it. The blue stripes that is. Course, I'm partial to Aprilia and they do that sort of thing. Red bikes/blue rims and what not. The Aprilia my inspiration for doing this ad well as having a blue rear shock and Scottish saltie decals.....

V4 Rosso Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Better? Yes, better. I think one or more stripes running along the center of the front fender look OK too but I don't like the stripes running along the sides of the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
