Yeah, I was surprised how well the original Pilot roads I put back on went on the chopper ride. But a timely reminder from my brother warning that they cool down very quickly when they get worn.

I wanted silver but the crowd that makes mine don't make that colour so i've gone for reflective red, if I don't like it no loss really, think they were the same price as yours. I can always find some silver pinstripe from another brand.

was thinking red would look cool

Is it just pinstripping tape and how wide is it? Silver should be easily obtained!

7mm. It's made for wheels if that makes any difference. Even comes with it's own applicator so in theory I should'nt be able to stuff it up.
