Tire lettering highlighting.

[mymaster]

Got some new meats. Re highlight the lettering or not ?, I could even use a different color if any one's interested. I wondered what red would look like. Their Avon Azaro ST's, 200 in the rear, clearance and handle just fine  

 Also have some black Kanji's for the fairings. I know, reflectors

Just my .02, but I like the second pic. Letters blacked out looks really cool.

Never really liked tire highlighting.

Plus after a short while they look faded or washed out. I've use lots of different markers and none have worked for very long. Although they look OK when first put on ! Just my .02 cents worth though !!

Done it and love it as you can see below.....BUT.....you knew there was a but coming. haha. They fade REALLY easy. After this set of tires I won't do it again cuz you constantly have to touch it up. Takes a while to do to. But looks wise when its fresh and clean its killer!

I totally agree. It's a pain in the ass, but worth it. I found using a toothpick to scatch off over paint works really well.

Also, my buddies say the pulsating of my tires when I'm riding is kinda hypnotic and interesting.

I totally agree the spinning effect is sweet looking. I did it and as SOON as my buddy on his CBR saw it he went out and got pens to do it that week. He was a big fan to. It seems the opinions on this are really divided though.
