Looks good. I'm lovin the idea of rim stripes these days.

So, was it a complete pain the a$$ or what? Where'd you get them from?

it really wasnt a pain, although having stands would have helped. the hardest part was cutting the stripes apart. it comes with five stripes on one roll that you have to seperate. i just put it on a little moved the bike some and continued till i was all the way around. got it at www.tapeworks.com

Looks great, I got a set on order for my bike after seeing a R1 with them.

For some reason Honda puts ridiculous stickers everywhere on these bikes except where they'd look good.

Good job... I'm sure I'd screw them up. How much to you charge to install the tape for me?

Those look really good. I think thats going to be one of the first things I do to my bike. I have always liked the rim stripes even though some people say they are too "squid like" I don't really care what other people think of what I have as long as I like it. Bike looks good though

I just bought a set from ebay.

http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-...tem=4606578226

I went with the 1/8 in. They are pretty cheap price-wise, we'll have to see what kind of quality they are and how tough they'll be to install. For only $10 it's worth a try.
