Here is the finally picture of the RIMSTRIPES I just installed...They are very MOTOGP looking ( since they all seem to have them now!!) These Rimstripes are from TAPEWORKS and are REFLECTIVE like a stop sign

hey sirlimpz, that tapework stuff came out really good. What was involved in putting that on? was it just a simple stick on? and how long will it last....like will it start to peel off after a while?

The rimstripes were easy enough and seem like they should last...my first side has a few imperfections and the last wheel stripe was the best one since I had experience now...it took about 45 minutes

That looks really sweet. I'm actually ordering some of the reflective stripes for my bike tommorow. So can you give me some tips on putting them on? What all do I need to do becides make sure the wheels are super clean? Your 1000RR is looking good man.

with that last comment, im a little weary about ordering the rim strips for my bike. i work in the car audio industry and see "tape stretching" everyday. the thing is, with electrical tape and such, when you stretch it like to wrap up some wires or loom, over time it will pull back and leave a sticky residue that is just a pain in the ass when you have to go back and fix some other shops work. we see it all the time. we use 3M super 33 which is a better grade tape, but easier to work with. i just wonder if the rimstrips will pull back and look like poopie after a while.
other than that though, you have a really nice looking machine

Rim tape is different then electircal tape or anything like that. It's actually vinyl like you stick on the outside of the car. Think pinstriping. It's perfectly to stretch and get some tension on it.
By the way, to remove the residue you are talking about, pick up some denatured alcohol. It will take any glue or tape residue off. I did car audio for about 10 years. I've built demo vehicles for MMATS, Image Dynamics and a few other companies. Where do you work at?
