Rim striping


Does anyone know of a decent rim striping? Does anyone do this locally?

And the big question, does anyone know of a place who has stripes for a 16" rim, as my 97 CBR has a 16" front rim.

Rim striping


It comes in rolls... One roll is more than enough for
one side of a rim.

Its easy to do just need to get a good mark with a sharp pencil to guide you around. And apply it slowly
always looking ahead of where you are... kinda like taking a turn at speed !

Def clean the lip of the rim before you put the rim stripe on. A clean surface will make it stick better.

Also warm the rim stripe up a little bit because it allows it to bend easier.

Other then that, just go slow.

1/4" autozone/pepboys pinstriping. $9.99 enough to do at least 3 bikes (did both my duc and sv with 1 roll and good amount left over).

The duc i did the striping with the wheels off and it mad it a heck of alot easier, came out 10x times better than my SV which i did on the bike. But you can only tell the imperfections in it if you really look.

If you want a specific color you can always order from here:

I've done business with them a handful of times. Really fast shipping
