You can buy decals. Lots of color choices too. | ||

you can get 'em from tapeworks.com for about $20 for a full set (two wheels / both sides) Thinking about reflective orange or silver myself... | ||
| Robino |
nice, thanks | ||

I've been thinking about some black stripes on my amber wheels. | ||
| Captainplanet |
Yes, the ones on my bike in the top pick came from tapeworks. They hold up well too. | ||
| Robino |
thanks. i just ordered the 030 orange stripe kit for both my buells. | ||

I have the same stuff on my bike now too. It's red, but "lights up" orange. | ||
| Robino |
how about one of those zero gravity windshields like pictured above? i found some place selling blemished ones, where would i look for a good one? | ||

The double Bubble has a reputation for melting gages on the 'bolts. Might want to try Memphis Shades new "cockpit" screen. DaveS can get you either one. Al at American Sport Bike carries the double bubble (part #9019) for $84.95, and the ZG Sport touring screen (PN 9020) for the same price. I prefer the st screen myself. It makes a larger bubble of still air for the rider. It is 3" taller. most race teams use the st screen. | ||

how would the double bubble melt gauges??? act like a magnifying glass? LOL first time i've ever heard of something like that. weird. BTW, what's an ST screen? (Message edited by robino on May 05, 2006) | ||

"BTW, what's an ST screen? " It's ZG's Sport Touring windshield. See photo in my profile (Message edited by gowindward on May 05, 2006) | ||

Mine are 1/4 reflective pin striping bought from my local automotive paint store. It comes in a 50 foot roll. It's a good thing i bought a big roll 'cause they are a pain in the a$$.  | ||

The ZG double bubble acts like a parabolic mirror when the sun shines in from behind it. The focal length just happens to fall at the same place the gages sit in, or it wouldn't be a problem, and that's why you haven't heard of it on other bikes. the angles and distances just happened to line up. Some people that have them throw a towel over their gages when they park. I haven't seen any reviews from board members of the memphis shades "cockpit" screens yet, they may eliminate the problem if they didn't copy the ZG design exactly. | ||

Actually, ZG acknowledges that it happens on other bikes, too. I just throw my gloves up on the dash when I park. | ||
