should i remove my rim strips?
I had these retro reflective rim strips on for a while and thinking i might remove them as they are showing wear and might like the change. What do you think?
Btw i have red galfer lines, red adjusters on my levers, red caps on my sliders and red spark plug wires.

Take them off and enjoy the change. They're only $25 when the urge comes to put some on again.

I have a red shock if you wanna trade for that yellow one...
I say keep them, but like Ottawa says, you can try it for $25. There's also variation on rim stripes you can swap them to.

I like the stripes but if they are worn you could do like said above and ride without them for a while to see if you like it and replace them if you want.

Yeah they do, but you would have to build them yourself.

Play nice guys, how about we come to an agreement and put them back on just ONE wheel.
Ferris, you can choose which.

Only the wheel. Not the color. We each choose two colors, and the top 5 get randomized across the wheel stripe.
I think fluorescent colors are coming back. I choose Lime and Pink.

I always wanted to polish just the outer edge of my 919 wheels, leaving the inner part black. My bike was all blacked out other than the headlight rim and Sato exhaust tips, thought it would add just the right amount of bling.
There are all kinds of stripes and decals for the Super Duke wheels but I hate to mess with the cool Marchesini stickers

Love the bike!

Hey Ferris, if you remove them and you get bored and want another set I have some that I bought 4 years ago and never installed....you can have them for just the shipping cost if you want. Doubt I'll ever get around to putting them on

Thanks but i think I'm going to order another set from dustan graphics. Im gonna go with the 4mm strips this time so they wont be so over bearing. Now the question is, red or silver?

The red goes well with your other accents.

Indeed but its hot and not very conspicuous. Might i recommend the icon military spec vest. Its orange, doesnt look like a construction vest, and is mesh so it breaths well. I have one and i like it alot for extra visibilty in the rain since my rainy day gear is dark in color.
