Is there a gold wheel tape available for the 08 Raven?

If you are going to do the rim tape, get the pre-curved ones from Ebay. I first did mine from a normal roll of rim tape and took my sweet time and it still came out so-so. Since I'm all OCD with my bike, I bought some Ebay pre-curved rim tape and redid them. It came out perfect! The only strike about the pre-curved tape is that they come in sections and you have to cut the last piece to length.

Hope that helps.

The wheel tape i got came in 4 rolls, one piece for each wheel, great quality, cheap, and isn't precurved.

I did it on my bike stands so i can spin the wheel as i go

i never did pinstriping in my life and i was able to do it, they give you extra in case you mess up...so you can add another piece if necessary

I think it looks pretty good

from Ebay seller mulisha00

Yeah, that must have been fun:lol

I was having soo much fun with mine on the stands....


and the pre curved stuff i did on my friend's CBR, I honestly thought the regular roll was easier, its so hard to connect the four different pieces without flatspots
