Ok...hope you guys don't mind me making this post. Just finished installing my rim strips in reflective blue. They are definitely reflective. During the day they are the same color blue as the bike...perfect match. When light hits them they light up pretty well. I just used the flash on the camera to light them up. When they light up they are a lightaqua blue.

First few pics are with NO flash...just the natural blue rim strips. Then the next pics are with flash making them reflect. It's obvious which pics are which.

So...should I keep them, take them off, or change them to nonreflective blue?

 

that looks SHWEEEEEEEET! i'd definately keep them. i got the reflective white on mine and reflective wing shadows........i get told they make me much more noticable at night time, not to mention people love the look.

i'd say screw what we say and if you like'em....keep'em!!!!


well anywho.......i think they look great brotha!

 

hey man nice bike!!! hahahahha... yeah man they look pretty good on our bikes, color match during day, and reflective at night when you need them. they aren't bad at all man... i got same set up.







when my buddies drive their cars next to me they tell me that it's really visible. hey it gives me the piece of mind knowing that i'm a little bit more visible to others out there. can't be too sure about other stupid drivers...

 

Looks nice, going to install mine this weekend. Any tips or tricks? Some say that it's a biach to install.

 

the tip or trick is... to get the ones that come w/ the tool to make it a perfect circle. i used it and it came out clean!!! i dunno if you can tell in the pics

 

if you do a search someone didone hell of a write up on how to install them w/ a piece of a notebook, some cardboard and what not. great stuff, give it a try.

 

Very nice, I say keep 'em.

 

Tool?? Hell...no tools needed as long as you aren't blind. I've put them on before on another bike, so this was my second time putting on rim strips, but I did all 4 sides tonight in like 10 minutes and they are close enough to a perfect circle that you'd have to doradial measurements to know any different.

Now...if I can just get my exhaust from Bootleg my bike will be complete for the time being. Has he just fallen off the face of the earth?

 

I think they look great. I actually got mine in the mail today. I hope to get a few minutes to get them on this weekend.

 

nice. i was thinking about getting the red or white ones for my red/black f4i... wonder how the reds match up.
