well i got the rim stripes on! man that was a BITCH!!!! in person, you can kinda tell they are slightly wavy...but oh well. im happy w/ the end results adn thats all that matters i guess. i think they really look sharp! i like how they bring out that bland area on the bike.......the rims/tires/frame/swingarm all black, and those reflective white rim stripes wake that area up! well, give me you're opinions.....how ya like'em!?

*CHECK BACK in a few more hours, i'll have night pics up. cant wait to see the wing shadows and the rim tape together!*

yeah those look uber sweet at night. I read a thread a couple of weeks ago about a DIY rim stripe applicator tool. I thought is was on this site, but it may have been in a different ....world. any way, the guy took a piece of thin plastic out of a school notebook, and some cardboard.cut them to fit the circle of the tire, and offset them, then put a small hole at the top to feed the rimstripe in. It made perfect rim stripes. I would do a search, but my phone card is just taking forever tonight at the hotel. cheesy *** radisson doesnt even have high speed wired interenet. anyway looks good.

I am definately going with the wing shadows, and most likely pick up some rim stripes, although even after seeing yours I still cant decide between red or white stripes. Its going to be a little while though, I just forked out some cash for a new Titanium Akrapovic slip on, and a new set of Diablo's. Next purchase is a new set of fork springs. The wings are way down the list on priorities.

yeah, i believe the reflective wing shadows and relfective rim tape are combined about $140. i love the look of them both lighting up at night. hopefully it helps the blind MD drivers see me! and i just picked up a set of PP's (no, not recalled ones!). im not putting them on for another month or so though. gonna get my money's worth out of the Pilot Roads. well, put up some pics when you get that slip-on! i'd like to see what you do w/ you're bike. i dont see many red/white F4i's on here at all, must be rare or something, lol.

next thing on my list is a rear hugger. maybe next month i'll pick one up. we'll see.

thanks for all the replies and compliments!
