Default With or without the white outline?

I'm thinking about adding a very subtle white outline to my wings on my bike. I configured something in Paint to show you what it would look like....check it out....

Or a silver pinstripe that matches the silver wing on the tank.

I knew a guy that used to apply decal pinstripes to accent his bike all the time,then he'd remove them and apply a different color when he got bored with the last one.

I agree if you are doing it go with silver.

Well I like the white b/c my gear & stuff, but if it's a small enough line there won't be much of a difference.

Well the first thing i would do would save up for the steering damper. But considering there around $500 and your doing small mods i would go with no pin stripes. I think it looks good without them.

Also i talked to Ron at WCW and he said for most street riding you really don't need the SS lines in the back. It will cause to many lock ups then actually helping. Also you can get some nice HH pads that will increase the stopping power alot from the stock brakes and thats a cheap mod. Only $50
