Also did some faux carbom fiber on the triple tree, not sure on this one yet

Looks good! I like it, where did you get the carbon fiber cover on the upper triple?
 
Looking good. That helps tie in the red subframe. I keep looking for a little more red, but I don't know what, without over doing it?

The carbon fiber is 3M DINOC. I have some black and red grips I might toss on there, but that will probably be it for the red, don't want too much
 
[up] levers and grips in red, though you just stripped the levers...maybe the headlight bezels in red? just a thought
 
Ordered the rim tape from a local bike shop. Progrip makes it. One pack is just enough to do 2 rims, and it comes with a handy little applicator to get it on evenly. We will see how well it holds up.
I do have some red valve caps that I have yet to put on, and I may try reanodizing the levers this winter once I have the time to set up a small anodizing bucket in my basement
 
where did you get the red tape from?

jobolt: all local auto parts stores stock it. it is 1/4 inch tomato red auto striping, like 25 feet to a roll and about $5. just make sure rim is super clean and wax free, and at room temp when applying. i've striped the rims on all my buells and it adds a bit of color to the wheels.
