Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #14 Orange? Yes, a bright red? Color definitions are always relative from person to person. If I paint the rim of the granite gray then exactly in the shade of the RS font, whether red or orange. @Mr. 36654 The "orange" I can unfortunately not properly represent without losing the structure of the rims in the picture, it is then almost similar to the gold, at least not a good result and not to publish. If you let the wheels paint white, then I can simulate the presentation in orange well

The F800GT I had was in a nice dark orange color called "valencia orange" and I quite liked it. BMW used to make a K bike in lava orange which was also cool. However, if you're going to go for such a bright color, you have to go all in and do the whole bike. It would look off as an accent. Best to stick with the dark gold. |

Zitat von bill the cat im Beitrag #17 I had a F800GT loaner for over 700 miles in that color. The barn door shield was not stock. 20150625_133819.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

That's probably the only R9T that I've ever liked. |

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #3 I read Bacaruda's OP and thought that was some tough luck to have the rims marred from a tire change. I gave my rims a closer inspection after having some Pilot 5's installed last November and, sure enough, the twits at the shop managed to nick both rims. I've farkled and color coordinated the hell out of my bike and wasn't real keen on having the rims repainted, only to have them nicked again at the next tire change. Your post got me searching on the internet and I found something similar to the motorsticker.com rim tape. This is rim tape from madmotographics https://www.madmotographics.com and wasn't too difficult of an install. I figured that roughly $40 was ok to piss away if I didn't like the result. Yes, the rim nicks are still there but much less obvious (at least to me). R1200RS_P1020848_49_50a_800.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) 2017 R1200RS Lupin Blue/Grey Metallic |
