Worked this time, looking good!

Great photo of the rim strips

What is the thickness of your strips?

DucinKtown · April 24, 2009, 07:26:58 AM

Sleeper, I don't recall the exact thickness.

But they came in two width and they were the wider ones.
I think the package is still outside, I'll look and report back later.
would 7mm be right?

Yours are probably wider than 7mm - if you check my post on page 1 you'll see my 7mm - yours are wider?

Thanks y'all!

desmo - I stripped the anodizing off the Cycle Cat caps, drilled out the centers so the Rizoma preload adjusters would fit.

ato - I have no plans to sell either of my bikes.

Most things do!!

That said, I have a dented tank I got of eBay and another seat cowl. Someday, when I decide what I want to do, off it goes to Ducpainter for some paint...prolly not red.
