Honest opinions on my fender stripes.

[MACHV]

I thought the extra color on the front fender would be a definite keeper. However, the longer I look at it, the more on the fence I am. Fortunately it's all vinyl and comes off via heat gun and fingernail. Maybe I just have to get it outside in the sun to appreciate it, but it's February in northern Illinois. Just wondering what the community thinks.

Well, we all like to individually personalise our bikes, and I actually like the look of the extra pinstriping. Not over the top and suits it well.

Since you asked, I think there is continuity to your color palette.  The main bodywork uses all of the same colors.  I also like the two tone front fender.  However, since you asked, I would suggest removing the red stripe that goes across the leading edge of the fender.  Just keep the two that are front to back.  If you are still on the fence, try using red tape that is narrower.  I would think 1/8" would look nice and perhaps subtle.

MachV,
You are a brave guy, asking this mob for opinions on style.      I agree with Tuned Forks about the stripe across the front.  If it conceals chipped paint or other blemishes, I'd touch up that stuff, but not use a red stripe there.  A white strip there might do the job, if needed.  The long red stripes are very good, by me.

Again, this is a case of working with what I had. The red is already pre-cut that width. I considered tapering back to front and still may. Although, my sausage fingers can handle small or intricate, but not often both when it comes to cutting a thin piece of tape thinner

HMMMMMMMM. I think I like it. I thought the same thing about the front edge stripe. If really brave, match the rear fender

I'm on the fence really, I like the white with the red stripes at the sides, but the small stripe across the front of the fender makes me think of "Harley" or "Indian" fenders (if you know what I mean).

Other than that...........how do you get your bike to be so shiny MachV, the gloss on the paintwork looks so deep on the photo's, it looks almost wet....amazing !!!!!!

I have plenty of material to do a second draft on the fender and probably will eventually. Just started refurbing a house though so will see. As far as the shine? McQuires cleaner wax and/or carnuba. That said, I do not ride this thing anywhere near as much as I wish.

[MACHV]

Cleaned it up a bit. Thinned and slightly tapered the red and curved around the front.

Might as well finish it off...

Ha. My better half already talked me out of any kind of wheel stripes. And... wrong kind of bike or rider for tassels.

All in fun. You have a beautiful bike.
