Thanks talca, I appreciate the kind words. My husband thinks I have gone "bling" crazy. I figure, she's mine, I should make her my own. I get a kick outta changing up the look. I get a lot of ooohhs and ahhhhs on it, so I guess I'm blingin' right along.

I did mine about a month ago and it took me a couple of hours to do it because I am very picky. Afterputting it on and taking it off so many times I am surprised itstills sticks.I think the rim tape takes makes the bike really stand out, good job the tape also.

Tape looks good, next time use a spray bottle and wet the rim first then you can move the tape before you stick it down.

Thanks crash. I didn't do that although I read that others had. I shoulda done what everyone else did. Lesson learned, but I'm still blingin, although at various angles.

I just picked up my '07 650R (also blue) a couple of weeks ago and was thinking what I wanted to do to her to personalize her, beyond the rack and frame sliders I had installed. That wheel tape looks pretty badass. You are givin me ideas toad.

Thanks, I just wish I had done a much better job. Seems like whenever I park, I alwayshave the part of the wheel tape that looks the worst in a spot where it can be seen the best. Maybe I will make this anew winter project.
