that is a really nice bike man. you take real good care of it. i like the blue mirrors it looks a lot more slick and doesn't stand out as tacky. :cheers

Its Rim Tape from Tapeworks: http://www.tapeworks.com/RimStealth/Rimstealth.html

Takes ages to get a decent result, spent about 3hrs putting the bastard on.
Really gotta be patient. A rushed job is very noticeable.

Anyways they cheap and reflect nicely at night for safetys sake.

:burnout

yeah I really like your bike aswell and those mirrors look awesome. When they are black they do look pretty crappy. Painting them is a great solution! I like the rim tape too, loosk really good

Its a Bagster tank cover which has mounting points for a bagster tankbag.
They make em to suit the colour scheme of many bikes.

that is pretty sweet. i couldnt do it just because it would end up scratchin the paint slowly and leave nice rub marks all over the tank. just my opinion though.
