Looks good ^^. Didn't click that it should also work on car tires. Was just drooling over a cbr1000 with these on it. It was the black/green style.

I have had the wheel stripes on my RPF1s since putting them on the car. They work just fine for cars as they do on bikes. Didn't click your link, so not sure if the same place I got mine from and to be honest, I don't even remember where I got mine from online. Was just catered to bikes though.

Ive used those before. but dont buy any from ebay. get them from tapeworks.com they actually will stick to your wheels. The ebay kind bubbled up and just peeled off even after I cleaned the wheels with alcohol and soapy water. the tapeworks rim tape stuck amazing!

I just got some DIY pinstripe stuff from Pep Boys. You don't need precut circles, lol



it was fun for about a week

I did it alone with the wheels on the car it was a little sloppy in some places, but it was a 20 minute job and i was just playing around.

The ideal way would be to keep your hand and the tape in the same place and let a buddy rotate the wheel while you apply the stripe. This would give you the best circle I imagine.

tapeworks.com is great stuff. I used their product on my 600RR and it came out pretty good considering I did it all by hand without an applicator. To get the best results you would want to use an applicator though. If you don't want to buy one, here's a thread on 600rr.net that shows how to make one. Free DIY FTW!!

The precut circles makes it look alot better. I did this with my stock wheels last year and had it on for a few months. It turned out really well.
