Well I looked on there site but they dont have the 06 F4i. Would it be the same as the bermuda blue for the 1000RR?

Ok...I am looking at my receipt/order. The color code for the reflective blue that I got from tapeworks is code 6018. I don't know if you need a certain width...I had my custom cut to 1/4 inch. They stock 2 standard sizes, one which I thought was too wide and one I thought was too narrow. So, i had them cut mine to 1/4 inch wide. There is a $5.00 extra charge for custom width b/c they essentially have to waste a roll of tape to cut just one set.

Anyway...the color code I used was 6018. I went and looked at all there blues and took them out and put them up against my bike. 6018 was the best match to me.

I had also considered using reflective white (which actually appears just aLITTLE BITsilvery in sunlight but it is reflective white. The color code for that is 6016 if you're interested.

Hope this helps. If nothing else, just call them up and tell them you want the same blue color as "Chris Smith" from Winterville, NC. I was just in their shop last week and they log names and addresses in their system for future purchases.

Post up pics when you get done.

It actually comes with 6 strips. No tool. I'd never heard of a tool until just recently.

they look great I really think that going with the color of the bike was a good idea, looks very sharp! I'm thinking about getting silver ones for my silver/black f4i... so yeah I would keep them for sure.

Thats real nice dog. I had some plain blue ones on my bike, but took them off when I polished my rims. I was thinking of getting some silver reflective ones, but I don't know how they'll come out.
