Great!  I've been thinking about the green wheel tape for mine.  Do you have a shot of the wheels?  Where did you get the tape and how was it to apply?

WT100:

Well sure I can take a picture of the wheels closeup, give me a few days.  I got the wheel pinstriping I think on ebay.  It comes as a roll, with an applicator tool.  I prefer that to the ones that come in pieces and are crescent shape.  The tape is made in Italy.

Just wipe down the wheels to be sure they are clean, feed the tape through the application tool, and turn the wheel.  Real easy since the Super 8 has a center stand.  I had these on my last scooter (Big Ruckus) for over 3 years and they worked well.

And thanks all for the kind comments.

I jazzed up the right rear with some Krylon flourescent paint, sprayed the dipstick holder and the muffler spacers to balance out the bottom of the scooter.

Very nice touches.  I like that attention to detail.  Event the screw head on the front fender.  Nice. ;D
