Rim tape you mean?

And your post doesn't make sense. U make a thread called "What do you guys think??"... u post a pic of an 09 R6s wich i dont even think is even out yet...(maybe im wrong but still) U talk about Red rim tape an Red around the lights... than u ask "should i paint mine gold or not???" We don't even know what bike u have first off. Im so lost on what it is this thread is going for lol

Lol I'm sorry I didn't word it right ... First off that is my bike and yes it is a 2009... I'm asking if I should color match the rings around the headlights to the gold on the rest of my bike or would it look dumb or unnoticeble? Sorry about the lack of wording

youve got several things more important that need to be done than that.

1) frame sliders (or better)
2) fender eliminator
3) flush mounts
4) remove the reflectors from the front forks
5) slip on but thats a little more expensive (the stock exhaust on those is both ugly and quiet...i couldnt even hear my exhaust over the motor)

after those then start making little tweaks.

ionno wut ur talking about with rings anyways, can u post a pic?

by rings around the headlights, do you mean the silver retainers that hug up against the projector bulbs themselves, or halo lights?

Along with the mods mentioned above ^, a dark smoke DB wind screen would set the bike off nicely!!

Agreed and that is the first thing to be done to my bike!

And yes ! the rings around the headlights!... not halo's even though they look badass! im tryin to find the pic...

well if you decided that you indeed wanted to paint them, keep in mind the rather high temperatures they may endure over the years.
im not very educated in the process of anodizing, but I'm sure that would stand up to the heat right?... not to mention look sick!

here we go

rt36 · 08-15-2008, 03:18 AM

if your down with the look, then go for it.
id be interested to see those rings black, on a raven.

sometimes contrast is good though.

wrxkid77 · 08-15-2008, 03:23 AM

ya im curious to see what they would look like gold because everything behind the headlights is black so it would contrast the gold nicely... i think.. whata you think?

*update* i took off the reflectors on my forks just now! looks so much better
