Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort)		I was out in the garage today just sittin' on the couch having a beer watching the cold wind blow the snow off the roof and contemplating the Vision in front of me- In a moment of inspiration I dug out some silver pin striping tape I had and within a few minutes had changed the overall look of the bike. I'm liking the way it looks. Very inexpensive and easy-Brian

San Antonio, TX		Looks great! I am thinking about doing that in red or white reflective tape...maybe both. It would make for nice lines day or night.

New Bohemia, VA		so I'm a Pep Boys and I end up buying door chrome. I was also looking at the pinstripping but I don't know if I have that kind of coordination any more... but you've given me some inspirations and I like the look you created, nice. RT are talking about that 2" reflective tape??? lOl.

San Antonio, TX		varyder,

Like ByteN2it linked to, they do make narrow pinstripe. I remember a while back a tape that looks black during the day but it reflects white at night.
http://www.colebrothers.com/reflective/index2.html

It comes in 12 inch by 30 foot rolls and can be cut by a CAD vinyl cutter. I am thinking BACK OFF! reflected on the trunk.

It is also available in 1/4 inch rolls.

Here are some pictures of it on a back tire.
Lights on

By the way, I love the door edge chrome. Looks like I need to make a run to Pep Boys...I gotta keep up with the varyders.

Your pin striping job looks GREAT!

It takes a little talent to get the tape bending right.

I like trim around your fender.   Did you use trim adhesive to hold it in place?

East Ohio		I got 18' of the chrome door trim for $10, I used it along the front fender, on the top edge of the access panel and on the inside edge of the inner faring. I also went with the chrome pin stripe.
The bike color is one of the reasons i went with the "limited edition", love my Scarlet and SS Gray

Go Super Steel
