    I've got a 2018 SP on it's way and obviously it comes in The tricolour scheme with gold wheels.
    I think I want to break the wheels up a little but struggling to see any images of others with the same colour sxheme.
    The SP2 has a red stripe which I quite like but the bike has a lot of red on it anyway so i was thinking about trying to a get a matching blue.
    What do we think and how easy are they applied?
    Any pics especially on gold wheels much appreciated.

    My mate has got the same sp as you but it's marchesinis on...however the pic gives you an idea of a red tape strip.

    My 16 sp has a broken red/black pattern on its gold wheels...which I think looks pretty cool...

    I've seen the marchesini ones just think there is already a lot of red going on. I do like those red and black ones though, where did you get them and did you apply them yourself?

    Well the tool looks neat and you will definitely have to report back how well it's worked or not as the case may be. Looks like it will make life easier though

    I'm afraid they came with it on as part of the tt edition. But you must be able to get it somewhere I guess.

    Can't see the point. But I don't do cosmetics, although I do have a voucher for No.7 at Boots

    Nice. How difficult was it to put them on. You look like you did a good job, nice and uniform

    Well I'm thinking of these small discreet and maybe just enough to break the all the gold up on the wheels. 2 each side. What do we think?

    Simple as but you will require a very long brake line from Hell. Plus that setup only works on certain wheels, Not original I’m afraid. The hub is too large with no clearance for underslung calliper on OE rear wheel...
