I noticed the alloy wheel spokes conveniently line up to make a symbolic image, if given the right accents. I'm a sucker for Kawasaki Green.

If I could replace the silver with tie-dye air brushing I think I'd be onto something

I initially thought of a single white spoke, then saw the "peace out" appear, now thinking I could also use some chequer flag stickering on a single spoke.

Try some color tape on the wheels to see if you really like it first!
I think that's pretty cool.

A friend (who had 2 x SR50 Ditechs, now has an RS125) ironically responded with elitism to this with his effort:

PS: I'm pulling all the plastics off to put dielectric grease in all the connections and liquid tape to seal whatever I can from the elements for the wet weather next week.
At the same time these plastics are coming off, I'm really considering what spray can job I can do on them... plain silver is just not my style.
A friend said it would be neat if there were shrink vinyl you could apply, like phone covers that you could change on the mood or fashion of the moment.
If in doubt I'll try a fluorescent yellow, it would probably make a good base for stickering.
