If your lucky enough to have a Cycle Gear store nearby, I would go there. $7 for a roll that will cover both sides of both wheels and leave you a little extra in case of an operato error. They are also online, I think its CycleGear.com

I think refelctive yellow would look great on your bike

www.tapeworks.com has great color choices and the quality is amazing. Pricey but your bike is worth it.

Im going all out and having my wheels color matched to my bike. I have an 06 Blue/yellow RR and theres a guy at the dealer that paints em to match. I saw a blue/yellow he did on thier showroom floor and it looks killer! (yelloe front blue rear) Its pricey... $700 for both (thats him takin the rimsoff and puttin em back on too) but I love the way it makes it look like adifferant bike

God Damn for that price it better include 2 new sets of tires. You should be able to get them powder coated for less than $200 including remounting the tires. Anyways here's a pic of my 929 with the precurved wheel tape that I got off the mighty ebay.

Is this what your looking for TexasCBR1000RR?


I think the blue front wheel takes away from the bike, better in all yellow in my opinion.

Get the ones from cycle gear, they are also reflective. i put them on my bike and other bikers say when im riding the whole rim lights up from other cars and bikes headlights. and that it looks awesome. I just know how it looks when its parked and a headlight shine at it. pretty bitching. and during daylight it looks like plain red
