Just had this done on my 2015 Gold Wing. I think the red really pops against the black wheels. It is reflective as well. Hope to pick her up in a few weeks when the salt is finally washed off the road. Getting pumped!:icon_biggrin:

High Coolism. Great look, great job.
+1 Does look good! I have to say, when I clean my 6, I get lazy and the wheels are the last thing on the bike I clean, and many times, I skip them. I get too anxious to go riding. I have the mat-grey, so my wheels blend in a bit more, when they are unclean. I will make the effort to clean them more often.
That looks good. I have often thought about doing that to wheels on bikes.Quote:

It really adds some Bing to wheels.
That does look great! Did you have to take the tire off of the rim to do it?
No, not neccesarry. But I did have a professional do it!Quote:

Looks good! I also like the idea of the reflective properties as it may make me a bit more visible at night in an intersection to the vehicles that are 90° to me.Quote:

I just found the receipt on the ones I put on the NM4, I thought they might have been from the same company but they are actually from a place called Custom Taylor 33. Looks like they added their hi-vis decals to all sizes of wheels, and added helmet and tape stripes to their options. Link to customtaylor33 here if you want to take a peek.
what size is it?
Wanted to see how they looked reflecting.

This is my third bike I have done this to.
My Buddy pinstripes cars like the old school hot rods. I had him paint them on.

Hey Luke. Do you mind telling me where you picked up the F6B decals?Quote:
