Post by Splant »

So many different styles ,brochure has a really thick bottom band, but every others different, some have a straight line going to zero at the front, I'm sure following the lower tank curve would look best but can't find one done like thatand don't want devalue my bike if non standard ,what do you all prefer ? How thick also ?

Gone for following the tank curve ,better colour in real life ,was orange and white but the green looks classier i think.
