Sorry was hoping for a set of Michilins or something that would make the rim tape that much more funny. Should have known better than Tigger not matching!

Yea, I ever went to the trouble of have the guys that sell me my body kits change the graphics from Michelin to Bridgestone on the bike.

Bike's kinda dirty but here are some pics...

I liked it until I saw it on the bike.

The blues don't match and it makes the wheels look too busy.

Just my opinion, of course.

Yea, the problem is that I opted for the reflective tape that gets lighter depending on the angle that the light hits it. Under low light conditions the color is closer. If I brought a piece of the tail and a wheel inside, they would match. Oh well, that's the great thing about vinyl...don't like it or have gotten tired of it? Rrrrrriiiiippppp!!!!! Besides, I gave up on the perfect color match between accessories a LONG time ago, brother!!!

I share your opinion.

The important thing is that you like it, Tigger. You like it?

Eh... I'm not sure,yet. I'm not crazy about it for sure. My first plan was just to put a couple "Bridgestone"s on the rims. I used to paint in the letters on the tires. I even tried to have letters made out of a thicker vinyl that I could glue to the tires but it didn't work very well... Again, I spent an hour putting that shit on so it's staying at least until the next tire change!!!

I know what you mean about the time invested. Hell, maybe in that time period it will grow on you? I think it's just the colors not being 100% at a distance that makes me not sold on it.

The bike does look great though... good job!

If I ever get serious about stripes, I'll probably get a blue to match that is not reflective.
