Thought I would share my winter boredom project with the troops. I had a buddy shoot the silver panels on my cases satin black, then I striped them a bit using black 3M Scotchlite. I pulled the rear end apart & painted the subframe, passenger peg brackets, exhaust heat shield, and heel guards as well. Pretty happy with the results.

Hah, I guess winter does it to all of us. I'm shopping up the parts to make my Fast Black into Black and Black and Red. I like the red trim on the rims. Consider it stolen (the idea that is, I'll let you keep your rims)

Looks great! Now all you need is a Delaware license plate, and you'd have that blacked out too! :D

I simply used the red vinyl pinstripe tape from Pep Boys. Went on easy and once it's on for a while it's pretty rugged.

Most likely rim stripe tape/graphic.

Yes, the stripe is reflective vinyl I got from ebay user "bikeartz." Less than $10 shipped to do the whole bike. Each wheel has 4 pre-curved pieces. I wasn't sure about doing it, but I'm pleased with how it came out. It's pretty cool at night. Looks like something from Tron.
