I have the big letters on my wheels, with the tuning forks. I suggest you cut the letters apart and put them on individually. They are made to go on a flat surface, not in the curve of the wheel. Looks much better when you separate. I just put some red decals on my gold wheels. RED ON GOLD, SICK!!!!!!!

I agree. Didn't mean to offend. Like someone said "try it out". Best part about stickers is how easy they go on AND come off. I designed my own graphics if you can call it a design. I just love the retro Yam stripe. Most of my CF is Tekarbon. They have gotten a little bad press here but on a whole somewhere in the middle. I find that even a little unjustified. Everything, Rear hugger/guard, tank cover, intake trim were excellent fit and finish. And their prices are great as well. The tank side panels I got years ago, CarbonWorks, but I have not been happy with their latest stuff. The heal guards and exhaust guard are Graves. A simple adjustment had them work with my rearsets and exhaust which they were not made for.

Thanks man! i love it too! debating whether or not how the front rims would look with the letters a tad smaller of course cause of the smaller(width) rim. i already have the stickers just dunno. but like the person said above, stickers can come off! prob do them tonight when i get home from work.

I put a stripe decal because I wanted to change all the red to blue on my bike. The R1 logo was made at a local sign shop and the rim stripe was purchased from here http://www.tapeworks.com/
I liked the way it came out.

haha i hear u on that but thats alittle OCD at the same time! haha. and dont use the wheelie word cause people on here get so torn cause someone races in the streets, yea its dangerous, yea its dumb, but seriously. everyone is in the same ship here, u own a R1, act like u dont nail the throttle and ride ur bike likes its supposed to be rode at times!
we all have rocketships and we love them!
