Visibility, on her wheels?

verboten1 · April 5th, 2016, 08:29 PM

Holy crap, this is the best reflective wheel stripe I've ever seen. Wife wanted purple wheels, I got her the next best thing, plus some night conspicuity.

NevadaWolf · April 5th, 2016, 08:37 PM

That's sick! Looks really cool!!

Alex · April 5th, 2016, 08:57 PM

Looks good!

verboten1 · April 5th, 2016, 09:32 PM

Thanks, she loves it, I guess I did ok.

csmith12 · April 5th, 2016, 09:57 PM

Nice! Glad she likes it!

Can you pm me or post those tire infos please. Thanks!

cbinker · April 5th, 2016, 10:39 PM

she shouldn't get t-boned at night.

CaliGrrl · April 5th, 2016, 10:54 PM

Those look like the same stripes husband ordered for my little bike!

It's her favorite!

choneofakind · April 6th, 2016, 05:57 AM

Planning on doing some adventuring on the ninjette, a la Skippii style?

Those stripes look pretty neat-o!

verboten1 · April 6th, 2016, 07:00 AM

Hah, no these are for the Versys. She did some stuff on the ninja last year though.

InvisiBill · April 6th, 2016, 12:50 PM

Details on it?

Mine is the black/silver from Graphic Language. Here it is reflecting (just from my phone's flash) on the stock wheel, and being stealth on the new wheel.

I also used the leftovers to put some reflective stripes on my helmet.

verboten1 · April 6th, 2016, 04:18 PM

Nothing special, just ebay strips.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261127088664...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I bought some orange and some black reflective tape for my bikes.

Ghostt · April 6th, 2016, 04:35 PM

I've been a fan of reflective graphics for some time now.

On my 91 EX500 I used reflective orange rim tape, and NINJA graphics.

I have also done my 98 Ninjette in silver reflective graphics and tape.

My blog on the Ninjette graphics
https://www.ninjette.org/forums/blog.php?b=8341

And more pictures can be found here, https://picasaweb.google.com/1006527...Iz7pKC8lo6CiAE

Anything to increase your chances of being seen is always a good thing.
Bonus if it looks cool as well.

CaliGrrl · April 6th, 2016, 05:37 PM

That was my thought, too- visibility, and if I can make it look good, so much the better.

Ghostt · April 6th, 2016, 05:42 PM

Mission accomplished.

verboten1 · April 18th, 2016, 12:03 PM

got the rear mounted up....and it hooks up like crazy!

Brother Michigan · April 18th, 2016, 01:05 PM

That's a bad looking Versys! (and I mean that in a good way!)

verboten1 · April 18th, 2016, 06:57 PM

Hah, thanks. I got the front TKC wheel switched out tonight. I think she took a pic, I was able to do some emergency stops, and it's still just as good as the stock tires, if not better

RacinNinja · April 18th, 2016, 07:10 PM

The Versys with those tires would be a nice upgrade for those goat trails!

verboten1 · April 19th, 2016, 08:47 PM

Hah, that's the plan. I have a couple of other places I want to take her this year, now she has clearance and tires at least, even if it's not really for off road.

snot · April 20th, 2016, 06:31 PM

I did this on both my ninjettes. I love the look...well done
