Default Rimstripes

I bought reflective kawi green rimstripes from Tapeworks 3 years ago when they finally got the color right, but never got around to having them put on. I simply do not have the steady hands, artistic talent, and good craftsmanship to do something like that.

Last year my buddy Bill rolls up at my place with new stripes on his bike and they were perfect. I asked who did them and it was him. So I tell him about mine and he says he will come to do them... and yesterday was the day! They turned out amazing... adds some nice character to the bike. Can't wait to get the plastics back on for the full effect.

He did awesome work... turned out perfect.









^^^^^ non reflecting / reflecting vvvvvvv

hmm, you may as well put cards in your spokes at the same time. Sorry man, I am not into tape. Maybe duct tape for track repairs but that is about it. You still have a sweet bike by the way. Congrats
