    • Color of Rim strip??

      Hi all,

      Has anyone tried the new rim strip for FZ-16? I own a black FZ and I'm a little confused on which color would suit more on black FZ's rims... There are 3 choices - Blue, Yellow and Red. If someone has added this accessory to his bike, plz share the experience and looks of the bike.

      Rest of you can kindly suggest your combination for the rim strips...

        I guess red would go best with your black bike. Yamaha has them available as accessory for around Rs.300 IIRC, but you can get a good job done by a local sticker shop guy for about half the price.

          go for white pinstripe, it looks too good, similar to black rtr 180. and if you are getting it done from some place else then make sure that it is not too thick maybe 3-4mm. a thinner pinstripe looks better.

            +1 to that! If the bike has white stickering, white would look great! Else red...

                  As I said, it depends on the other colors in the bike too!
                  If there is yellow, yellow would look good.
                  If your bike is the one in the pic, IMO red would be the best.

                      They are radium stickers, so shine when light falls on them.

                            Take it to a decent painter&explain it to him, he will choose the best quality of paints in metallic shades.
                            If you have more moolah&want a showroom finish, try out in a painting booth where they have a closed room for painting with heat&moisture control.
