Bought the ProGrip reflective blue Wheel Striping. Comes with a small applicator. May as well throw that away, its crap. Ended up doing it manually by hand. Turned out nice. Problem is the package says, Enough for both sides of 2 wheels. Maybe if you have 16 inch wheels. Just enough supplied to do 3 1/2 sides after a little trial and error/practice. That stuff must be expensive, sort or like grease in Japan. Ended up having to buy anothrer pack at $13. a package. The good news is, it looks great and you can do it manually if go slow and do it carefully. Really dresses up the bike. Still looking to trade somebody my black wheels for silver ones. ::001::

Yea. I agree. If I could figure it out, I'd post pics. If you go to "What did you do to your Tenere today" right now, there is a pic there of a fellow who installed a light bar and his blue wheel stripes show up nicely. ::001::

I just used the quarter inch pin-stripe from Pep Boys and it's held up surprisingly well.
That is red SOLAS tape on the rear fender and white SOLAS on the top box.

That bike looks bad-ass. What bars are those?

Pretty sure they are the SWMotech Crash Guards.

Right Red Cat.
Thanks Dubble Jay!

Yes, SW-Motech bars & Parabellum windshield.
Something easy to miss are the little SW-Motech quick remove pannier mounting points on the back. They are at the front and rear of the passenger grab handle.
