Like the aircooled cover for the front wheel disc bolts that weren't used. Found one in the shed yesterday !

They are vinyl precut masks to save time when painting front LC wheels. Took me less than a minute to fit. Will try doing some spoke ones next.

Great idea ! I`ll have a set when you do the spoke ones , it`ll give me the kick up the arse I need to paint the bare wheel thats sat up in the loft, next to the paint.

Suggest ? using a Paint brush :-) to apply Satin Black paint (your choice brand) to LC wheels. Finished result is 'at least' as good quality as what Yama San applied at the factory. Brushed on paint flows.. enough to eliminate brush and overlap marks.. entirely. Easy.. as ZERO masking is required just use a thinners dampened rag to wipe off splashes. This of Course on a NON blasted (Paint stripped) wheel which Retains the Shiny Machined surface details of the original Yama wheel

They are vinyl precut masks to save time when painting front LC wheels. Took me less than a minute to fit. Will try doing some spoke ones next. One for the bottom, top and inlet of the barrels for spraying them would be good.

How easy are they to align to the surface though? Jon

Was easy to fit. I am no professional painter and I fitted one in less than a minute.

Sounds like Bare is up for a set! Great idea Rob and will fit many other wheels too such as TZR, FZR etc.
