Not sure where Corners got his, but www.tapeworks.com has tons of colors. Even reflective.

I have heard that they are tough to put on though. I have seen some that were all wavy when they were installed. I guess you probably have to be pretty slow and patient when istalling them. The ones i say on ebay were already contoured to the rim dia, but they were in little sections. At least with the tapeworks stuff, you only have one seam to worry about instead of like 8 or so seams.

I seem to remember seeing a place that actually sold an little installation tool, to allow you to put them on straight. I cant for the life of me remember where though.

Hope this helps

I got mine from a friend who went to Elkhart Lake AMA races, and decided that he didn't want them. I have seen them all over ebay. Just go to ebay and type in wheel sticker and 10 pages come up.

Which version of blue is that? I like the blue, but I'm not sure if that is supposed to be the lighter blue or the darker.

I'm not sure???? :???: The ones I looked at on ebay had three different blues: dark, medium, and light. If I had to guess I would pick the medium.

Like I said my friend picked themup for his bike and din't think they woul match. We held them up to mine and it looked pretty close.

It looks pretty ***** good and I hate to be that ***** guy, but I ordered some up earlier!

I think this accessory thing could be hazardous to my pocketbook. I hope the wife doesn't divorce me yet! LOL.

I got some tapeworks ones for my CBR600RR. The reflective ones are VERY cool, and they really do show up in the dark. Definitely worth the effort to find them over the standard coloured ones imho.
Tapeworks delivered to UK no probs, although demontweeks have them in their latest catalogue also for £3.99.

As for applying them, it's not difficult as long as you take it steady. I did all four wheels in about an hour with no wavy lines or anything, and I'm no specialist...

Hmmm... almost got me convinced to pull the trigger. The blue reflective ones might be cool. I'm sure the SO won't mind. "Yeah, honey, it's for safety!"

Sorry I do not have a pic, but I have the same decals on my rims. Love it. I also have the belly pan and flyscreen, but I need the seat cowl. I also dig the black rear pegs and muffler covers.
