Default Stripes with a glass roof

Ok, I have an '09 grabber orange v6 with a glass roof. I've always had a bit of a hard-on for black racing stripes, but I'm concerned they might look a bit out of place without anything on the roof. What's the consensus?

I have a glassroof and stripes. Check out my album. The pics are from the summer. I just had the vinyl stripes removed and painted a 20" inch stripe with .5" pinstripes. It looks awesome! I will post pics soon.

thats cool but it blocks half of the roof..so then the glass top would be kinda pointless.

You could always try and get some stripes for the roof made out of that material used for truck rear window banners that looks like a bunch of small dots close up and is only 1 way viewing.

why not use window tint as stripes for the glass roof? im sure if you went dark enough it would look good. Id just buy a cheap roll from autozone and cut some out and try it, if its good, either have it redone or make sure you did it good to begin with.
