For those that believe that black cable ties on silver frames look unsightly, it's an OCD thing perhaps.

Silver cable ties sounds a bit to "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" to me............................

Closer to the correct silver than black

I'm with you Chris.
Actually bought a couple of packs of stainless steel cable ties at Binnings while in Sydney... haven't ever seen them here.
Remember seeing an early press photo of some sort of Ducati with a red frame, counted 18 (black) cable ties on one side only! No feel for aesthetics... :

Not usually at your local Baumarkt, but they are available here, too, just an example https://de.rs-online.com/web/p/products/7436150/?grossPrice=Y&cm_mmc=DE-PLA-DS3A-_-bing-_-PLA_DE_DE_Kabel_Und_Dr%C3%A4hte-_-Kabelzubeh%C3%B6r_And_Kabelbinder_Und_Werkzeuge%7CKabelbinder-_-PRODUCT+GROUP&matchtype=e&msclkid=6b7e3d7b214015e3cf2667f6b5a7830d&gclid=CLmQjeutt9kCFUHAGwodvK8Ocw&gclsrc=dssfcpiet said:I'm with you Chris.

You can find them also being offered (pricey) at the odd car&bike shambles.

The silver ones I?m talking about are not metal, but polypropylene, just like the normal black ones, but silver.
when I built Mike's Motodd I sat on Fleabay for a couple of hours searching for silver zip ties
did not find an exact silver but did buy grey ones
takes a while to troll through Fleabay when you search for something so common as Zip ties, you wind up with 87,532 results

Not a cable tie to be seen on my Motodd frame, would spoil the lines, it's an OCD thing!

There are a couple of cable ties, just out of sight. That was one of the criterias when I designed the body work and final look of the Motodd. All the electrics are contained in a closed box and using thin walled wire and a simpler wiring diagram the main loom going to the headlight area is on ly 12mm dia.and well hidden.
I also have a packet of stainless cable ties that I never ended up using.
