A new Look

I finally put on some Red reflective Rim tape that I have been meaning to put on for months,    I also got a spare set of engine covers that I just got done painting, all I need to do is put them but its getting sooo cold here in Minnesota so I might have to wait till spring to put them on.  but any who hear are a couple of pics of my bike the the rim tape, 
 
tell me what you think of them.
 
Thanks guys.

i don't like rim tape.

I think it looks good, I'm not 100% sure if i like rim tape or not.  I think for my black 600rr im going to powder coat my wheels red instead.  Not sure how it would look, have to set it up in photoshop before I do it.

Hey Import...I found this pic of you http://www.redline-revolution.com/chrisbike023346534.jpg That's a sweet ass suit you have there, nice helmet too, where'd you get them from?

Looks pretty good... I didn't know the orange came non tribal.
 
I actually like the wide rim tape, sets off the wheels and makes them stand out from the tire, and the blacktop.

Nope. Don't like.

i dig it man,  especially in the dark. 

Can't bring myself to like rim tape - just a little too much "flash".  I like the black rims, nice and plain.

haha yeah,  that was the very first day I bought it, and I didnt have any gear at the moment because I sold all my Kawi stuff,  but I wear my gear now that I have it.

Well that's good to hear...that you wear your gear now! Please, just be safe out there! There have been 1 too many accidents this year.

I'm not a fan of the thick, reflective rim tape.

I just took regular red pinstriping (1/8" thick) and went around the bubbled edge of the wheel. This way, no weird nighttime effects, makes the wheel look larger, and gives it an OEM feel.

You can see how I did it in the pic below.......

^^^ I do like yours Blue Fox,   they look about the same size that come standard on Yamaha.

I like it, actually i think i am going to put rim tape on my next stunt bike to draw some attention.  You know, its like an eye catcher.

I'd have gone with something a little more narrow but an interesting look non the less. 

Who made your stands and how do you like them?

Thanks for the comments guys.

I got my stands from here  http://www.redlinestands.com/
 
I got the swivel stands,  they are sweet stands I can roll the bike very easily wherever I want while on the stands.
my friend who also has them turned me to them, the price is pretty good also

I think it gives it a different look.
I like it.
And the picture is badass!
