I was wanting to change the spokes to orange ones on the ktm just to add a little contrast to it and I came across these

spoke covers.... anyone ever used them or known anyone that had? not entirely sure how they even work id imagine there a wrap around but id be interested to know if that's noticeable photos look good anyway

So you think that putting a coloured plastic straw on each spoke will look good?? they must be split to allow fitting, they will collect shit and rattle, what a crap idea.

they are a coloured plastic tube (straw) that has a split down the length to allow you to put them over the spokes, like I said crap idea  ;)
