Excellent! I have a white/orange 9r, I might steal a couple ideas from you if you dont mind. It really looks good! What did you use for the stripes? |

Sorry to those who couldn't access the web page. I am fixing it as I speak so it should work now. thank you for your patience. Indy_bueller- I ordered my stripes from tape works. http://www.tapeworks.com They went on fairly easily. I really like the way the bike looks with stripes on it. It gives it a whole different look. |

Fantastic. How'd you do the pipes? Are those painted or taped? I think that is one of the most tasteful customizations of an XB I've ever seen. Great work. You should be very proud. |

I agree with KC. You did just enough. Its not overstated and really makes the bike stand out. Give us details, what did you do, where did you get everything from, how long did it take you, how much did it cost? |

Lpd, I still cant find any stripes on tapeworks.com, would you mind posting or emailing me a link to them? |

Indy- The stripes were custom made by tapeworks. I ordered eight 1 3/8"wide by 1'long sections. And spaced them aprox. 1/2" apart(i used masking tape and just ran it all the way down my bike and put the stripes down either side).You have to call them and give them the dimensions of the graphics you want and they cut up and ship em to you. good people... they'll fix you up. |

Cruisin- I cant email the sound clip because i have a terrible email provider. The sound clip is too big of an attachment. THE SOUND CLIP DOES WORK NOW(for how long... I don't know) http://www.geocities.com/calebvet use the link from my web page. Whitetrash- I had my pipes ceramic coated at http://www.jet-hot.com It costs somewhere around 70 bucks for the headers to be coated inside and out. They do very nice work, I highly recommend them. |

What did you use to paint the letters on the tires? Was it one of those hobby paint sticks, or something else? Man that bike looks sharp! |

Indy- I used a white marking paint pen for steel. It works fine for about a week and then it turns a dirty yellow color. I had just finished painting them before i took the pictures. |
