LEAVE EM ON! Your wheel area honestly looks so plain without them on. Even though the rim stripes are just a small strip of yellow, they really accentuate the yellow of your bike.

If you want, be like me, powdercoat your rims and then put on rim stripes. they stick out even more!

Ya powder coated would be the way to go but man that involves alot. Hmm maybe that would be a good project when the need arises for new tires. I still need to buy a front stand and a torque wrench before I can get into that.

They still look like white walls to me lol.

definitely keep them on. they add more detail to your bike and make it stand out more. so unless you like it plain and looking like everyone elses.........

Thanks folks... My wife loves them which is what lead me to believe maybe they were horrible looking lol.

I'll see if they grow on me.
