Default Fork spruce up
Now that I removed the reflectors, I'd like to do something to the fork to gain a little attraction. Was thinking of a little pinstriping or something. Any suggestions

Add some red and white 3M reflective tape in a candy cane type stripe. You did ask for suggestions - right?

Beginning to wish I hadn't. Is it to late to withdraw my suggestion request.
