Killer Custom. The flat pieces are held on with double sided tape, I added more of my own double sided tape to help ensure adhesion.

I decided to add a touch of color to the rims. The tape is reflective too, but have yet to test it out. I'm glad I went with a "Ruby Red" because the regular red would have definitely been too red.

Here's the BEFORE.....



And now the AFTER...

Dayam, now you need red plug wires.

Have you thought about removing those orange reflectors? The red looks good.

Looks great, seen a lot on sports bikes but not so much on cruisers. Really like it.

Nothing too exciting but my Saddleman step-up seat came in got it on the bike. Will start breaking it in tomorrow. Still waiting on parts from Memphis Shades warrior fairing and windshield, HD cruise control, HD forward controls, and SW-motech legend gear bags.

Thanks. I will be taking the reflectors off probably this weekend since the tape is supposedly reflective. I have the black reflective vinyl from the same company that I cut into the shape of a Batman symbol and put on the back of my helmet. When the light hits it, the black symbol turns white. I think this red tape is supposed to be a super bright red. I guess I'll find out when it gets dark out tonight.

It's funny you should say that. My first bike, about 15 years ago, was a Black Special Edition Yamaha R6 Sport bike. It was all black with red trim on the wheels and hints of red on the fairings which I always liked. That was the inspiration for me to do add it to my Slim. I figured if I didn't like it, I could always peels if off.

Put on the stock exhaust modified by American Custom. That would be quite a sleeper.
