I have used the tyre pens on my zx9r and looked good for awhile and there was no difference in grip as the paint sits inside the tread.It tooks me hours to do both tyres and never again.I dont think they look gay as i had some compliments on how the tyres looked.So yeah use them if u are getting them.

The gay comment was an in-joke as a particular member has them on his bike.
