I've been seeing several pics lately of v-stroms with colored pinstripes on their wheels. Is this tape or are you painting them? How are you getting them straight if painting? :confused:

I used reflective tape on mine.

Did one 20ft roll do both sides of both your wheels ?

Yes, one roll was plenty to do two wheels.

They have these pre-done here. I just found them the other day and have never ordered and am not sure about the sizes. I was wondering what color would look good with the wee blue.

I used the black vinyl that only reflects at night. It's cool because you c ant even see it in the day against the black rims but at night you really light up.

both rims use less than one roll. I had some left over to do the top case.
