    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.

    Rim striping

    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.
