I totally feel ya. The only reason I left mine on honestly was because a. it makes me more visible and from afar and on the road they look fine and b. I actually managed to get them on without ruining them (this is the first bike I've actually put rim stripes on). VERY thin material, and even thinner it seemed in the parts with the logo(!). Wants to twist and whatnot. Having stands and probably just a lot of practice probably helps. The thinner stripes may be easier as well.I wish there was an easy way to put these on! I am very anal about having things PERFECT and everytime I see my bike I notice the flaws in the wheel tape haha! I almost want to have them professionally pinstriped with red paint
let hope they do a good job, if so I am gonna call around and see what I can find out haha!I totally feel ya.

UPDATE: I just called Orlando Yamaha Kawasaki they said they'll put them on for like $20 installed.
Gonna go do that then i'll post pics later today.
Yeah, ebay is a great place to find the rim stripes. I think several of us have gotten them from the same person, Dunstan Graffix.I'm in toronto and i'm having a hell of a time trying to find the damn rim tape... my best option would be eBay? My dealer doesn't carry it. *shakes fist*
Yours looks great though... they did a good job
I went with the wider ones. I don't recall the exact width, but there are thin ones and wide ones; I got the wide ones.I'm not sure about what width to order the stripes, I'm thinking white reflective stripes ...... can anybody help?
fstrthan_uthink what width did you order yours?
