I actually striped the bike first. Then I saw the helmet in one of the bike mags and added the logos. It is almost a perfect match. |

Looks very cool! The seat cowl would look great. |

Did you do it with vinyl? If so, how hard was the front fender to do? I've been thinking of doing dual white stripes on my XB9R. |

I did mine Back in January, with vinyl... Ask for the best quality stuff, it lasts better in the sun, crutial if your bike is black. And do something besides orange... http://www.themuell.com/article.php?id=1 |

I have to ask this. Where does one find wide vinyl tape? I have been to a few auto parts stores, it seems the widest is about 1/2 inch! |

I purchased 2 yards from a 15" wide roll and cut my own strips. Purchased from www.ameriban.com and it was about $14.00 a yard. |

Or you could go to www.tapeworks.com I had them do my stuff. I just told them what I wanted and they hooked me up. Nice stuff. Very easy to put on. Just another alternative to throw out there. I highly recommend them. |

Yes the stripes are vinyl.Had them made up buy a local guy. The fender isn't hard to do with a little heat from a hair dryer. Proud of the Harley heritage, so orange and white just seems right on the black. The seat cowl is something I would really like to have, but can't justify the cost. Thanks for your input I think it came out pretty nice. I have the plastic's in yellow and may try something totally different with that(like leave them alone). |
