Quick, easy project: I wanted to do something like this, but didn't want to spend the money, so I got 1/2" reflective tape from Applied Graphics and it turned out like this. Took me about $15 and one hour total. Looks great, at least I think so, and that's all that matters right? Hardest part is keeping the tape at a constant radius. The wheels use 1/2" and the dash uses 1/4". I have about 1/2 roll left of the 1/2" and only used about 2 feet of the 1/4" so I can add more later, or use it for other stuff. | ||

The instrument cluster is a thing of beauty. Nice project! Mike. | ||

I did mine in red stripes on the wheels, screen and airbox cover, then blacked out the frame, subframe and swingarm. http://www.sportbikes.com/photo/showphoto.php/photo/8944/size/big/password//sort /1/cat/500 http://www.sportbikes.com/photo/showphoto.php/photo/8943/password//sort/1/size/b ig/cat/500/page/ http://www.sportbikes.com/photo/showphoto.php/photo/8943/password//sort/1/size/b ig/cat/500/page/ http://www.sportbikes.com/photo/showphoto.php/photo/8941/password//sort/1/size/b ig/cat/500/page/ I've gotta get some better pictures during the day with the black out treatment. | ||

Talk about a Lightning! Great work! Kick ••• bike! | ||

Ah yes, it was you who gave me the idea. In fact, I almost did the airbox cover and screen just like that too. Glad I didn't, I might be under trademark infringement! | ||

I have been thinking of doing some tribal tatoo art on there in place of the stripes... you might consider that. | ||

I used the reflective helmet graphics from the same place for my airbox cover. They flames look almost black until the sun hits them just right.  | ||

That's that reflective vinyl you can get from the sign supply place. I use that to add graphics to my helmet. It lights up when the headlights hit it as well. Makes it a little safer and more visible for the cagers out there.  | ||

I found a place once that sells universal vinyl kits for bikes with flames, tiger stripes, LIGHTNING BOLTS, etc. I want to do lightning on the airbox and the screen. I just need to find that place back or figure out a way to cut lightning out of a blank reflective sheet. | ||

I added some more pictures to this site. It shows some more of the "titanium" parts I changed to black. http://www.sportbikes.com/photo/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=43902 | ||

These are the lightning bolts I was talking about: http://www.tapeworks.com/Pages/5511.html#anchor1081074 But I wouldn't be covering the entire bike, just a few bolts, so I can't see ordering the entire kit. | ||

I believe tapeworks will do custom order stuff. You can definately get any of their stuff in any color you want. You might call and ask about a partial kit. |
