[QUOTE="Soniclight, post: 621324, member: 43660"] Ah, so my intuition or deduction was right - lol. VFR, a real classic too. That's a very nice model. And to continue this OT subject... Speaking of white rims, here is the "beauty shot" of when the F2 with my striping came out - also white rims. Which I think really look cool and have been tempted to duplicate (take wheels off and paint that way). But the "gets dirty way too fast" factor has stalled that. I have a bike because my only income is Social Security and its SSI disability income, so I can't afford a car - or am too nervous to get one due to how much repairs can cost. I can do minor, non-engine related stuff on my own for the bike, and even a valve job or carb cleaning cost far less than auto repair stuff. Hence the trunk was not built for aesthetic reason, it make my bike a mini-mini pickup. It was born of two thrift-store Samsonite suitcase I took apart, walker aluminum rods, electrical conduit pipes (diagonal support on the outside and along the frame -- the latter can't be seen from outside). Then internal "upholstery" from light black welcome mats from Home Depot... While I've changed the middle "stripe" to white now for more night visibility and added subtle metal stripes, this helmet was white when I bought it. And as stated in text everything that is not black is night reflective too. (Is there a a pattern going on here? - lol) The front mod ambers are high intensity LED, but unlike the ones I installed in the back, the are not sequential. These have five arrows that in this product pic go from left to right. So I built an aluminum bracket for the two, flipped the other around, to mirror direction. Right arrows cycle to the right, left to the left. (Highlighted in pic below using black opacity around the rest of the pic). As you pointed out, visibility is crucial for a rider. And again, all these mods may look cool, but their main purpose is [I]"Notice me, and don't slam into me or see me coming..."[/I] ______________ OK, OK.... 'nuf of this totally OT stuff. To quote Jim Carey from the Mask movie, [I]"Somebody, Please STOP ME!"[/I] So I'll stop.
