Have you looked at the wrapmyspyder web site above? They have some nice stuff and they will give you a 10% off for adding a photo of your bike to the Spyder Garage above also.

I don't want to sound potentially critical of a sponsor but I have to ask two questions about WrapMySpyder versus painted pin strips.
1. I have seen decals and they look obviously like decals. Wouldn't something painted look better?
2. I don't trust myself to put decals on straight. Wouldn't paying a pro to paint strips guarantee things will look straight?

1. Yes, they look different from painted on, but 'better' is in the eye of the beholder
2. That's up to you and has no bearing on someone else's choice.

Not here for a debate, but suggested someone look at a web site so they will see photos and colors and different kinds of strips, if they like them they can paint them on or get them from spyderwrap. I will say if you want to remove them later it easer to remove the ones from spyderwrap with no damage to the bike.

I would recommend Black and Charcoal on the Cognac color if you are actually doing "pinstripes".
Something like this 3/16" 2 color stripe (Yellow arrows) looks great without taking over the look of the bike.
And the RT has lots of body lines to choose from as well.
The larger graphic designs aren't for everyone...

Colors....Ahhhh
no pictures or designs but I liked the maroon with beige . Pained a model with those colors and it looked great. There must be a program or app to let you make some color combos for a looksee....

I had my Spyder pinstriped Shane Syx at the Rat Fink Reunion. Shane visited with me for a bit first then he suggested the colors and I walked away and let he go to work. He did a wonderful job and I was very pleased. Pick someone who has been at it awhile and trust their judgement. I have had three different vehicles stripped by2 different people and. each time. and trusted to the strippers judgement and been very happy each time.

I don't know if I would trust a stripper's judgment ....

I’ve done a few gloss black vinyl accents on my champagne RT,. Most friends thought it was paint, one knew it was vinyl. I’m going w vinyl to protect the paint but when I was up at SpyderQuest there was a vendor up there that everyone loved, he/she was booked solid all weekend. I’m 99% sure the name of the business is “Mac The Knife”, I found a website located by Spyderquest w that name, didn’t dive deep into the website but maybe there are some pics you’d find useful.
And LOL Pete one of my buddies loves taking advice from strippers...they just prefer being paid in dollar bills!
Here’s a link to that website, good luck & happy hunting ChrisW

I got my bike pinstriped at the Deadwood 3-wheel rally last year from Jeff Dastrup. He was listed as one of the vendors, so I contacted him ahead of time for the work. I took some ideas, had some ideas of colors, but gave him the final control over what he did. Very satisfied with the work. My bike color was Black Current. Many layers of flecks/deep underlying colors. Went with Red, Silver, and a copper tone. Good luck. I would pick a black - orange - silver for colors for your bike.

I've seen his work. It's very nice. Jeff Dastrup pinstriping.jpg

I installed the decals myself, and they do have an edges. I took my time doing the install. I used the masking tape to pre set the decals, ( they come with very easy installation instruction's. These decals are reflective at night.
I bought the decals from WRAPMYSPYDER.COM.

Why not some simple black pinstriping?
As an alternative: a wider black pinstripe, with a "cognac" center?

I think Black would look good.
