I bought them years ago from Desmoworld, but now I can't find them anywhere. I think they're just right - visible, but not flashy.

My wheel clear paint is flaking and will at some point need to be done again. New decals and new wheel stripes at the same time.

I've only ever seen double pinstriping for autos, so too wide for a wheel.

Would it be stupid expensive to have them painted on before clearcoating? No doubt more than adhesive stickers, but should be mostly permanent I would think?

You could do the same thing with  auto pinstriping...just comes on a roll long enough for both sides of a car...way cheaper than masking and painting.

I imagined hand painted pin stripes  Cool

It took me at least ten hours to apply those 5 or 6 mm straight adhesive stripes in a semi curved position. Ok result, but not close up. Not going to do it again. Curved, painted or nothing.

For a guy/gal that does  hand striping it's no big deal. I never could do it.

Nice T-Drives, how do you feel about them? I have them too. What pads are you using?

Same fantastic brake capabilities as my previous and current "SuperSport" discs. I'm not happy how fast the steel wears out the hub. I thought that would be better on the T-drives, but it's not much better. On a good day, 35 vs 40-45 K km Sports/T-drives

I love that they are almost impossible to overheat. I'm a big guy and I brake late and hard - track is not problematic, 48 downhill Stelvio hairpins are worse, but still no fade. Another factor is the super duper Castrol almost racing fluid.

I used HH sinter pads. With my other components, they required two and a half fingers. Much better now with two fingers "96" (%) sinter. 07BB1996

I know I've read your long thread detailing your bike before but I feel like we need another one. You ride so much your bike literally isn't the same bike you started with. You have more miles on that bike than I have on my daily driver car that I have owned for 19 years.
