Kevin, I got it from Checkers. Its just the automobile pin stripping. 1/4"

They sell the same stuff at any auto zone, napa, kragen, pretty much any auto part store.

WOW! looks good. nice touch for such little money. your next cosmetic mod should be a fender eliminator kit. get rid of that bulky stock assembly off the back.

I personally like the rim stripes and it looks like you took your time and did a good job.

Thanks, I guess (i dont have the bike anymore, wrecked it, then sold it) But anyways, it really wasnt that hard. I to am a perfectionist. I hate things that look half assed and what not.

The first wheel is the hardest, then gets easier and easier. Just do a tiny bit at a time, and be patient (I lack patience) I didnt even use a stand, just rolled the bike a couple inches at a time.
