Got my new wheels on my RG and Im thinking about pinstriping the machined ring around the rim. I was messing around in Microsoft Paint and painted the pic just to see what it would look like and I think I like it ! What do you thin ?
Thanks
Mark

I would have the bike re striped in matte Harley/competition orange along with the wheels.

Either way looks good but if you don't plan on doing anything else with it from the cosmetic standpoint then I would leave it as is.

You can go either way, but the red would go with the existing red pin stripes.

I think if the pinstripe would match the ones on bike, color and size, but the machined area looks a lot wider than your existing pinstripes I would want to see what that would look like with the machine area first I think a wider stripe wont look right

Pinstripe it, same size and color like you have on the bike. It will look badass and not the sam wheels as you usually see.
