    Pin Striping Tape supplier?

    My 1980 GS850 has a black tank with gold and red pinstripes together on one piece of tape. I am going to have to repaint my tank because there is a noticeable dent in the side that has broken a tiny chip of the base coat off. Obviously the pint striping is going to go when I strip the tank down, so I am trying to plan ahead to get the tape now. Does anyone know who supplies this?

    Thanks in advance..

            Are you looking for something pre-made, or do you want to create your own?

              Brian Dallner in Kitchener, Ontario has been very helpful in creating a new decal set for my (and GSJim's) 650GD. I am impressed with his level of service, quality of decal, and attention to detail. I imagine he could help with what you are looking for.

              His company is www.bdesigns.ca

                Oh that's good stuff there BigD. It's amazing eh, the interweb! No matter what you need there is somebody, somewhere who's doing it.

                  You might also look for a local pin striper to just paint them on. You might be surprised how inexpensive it can be. What looks hard for us is easy to them.

                    I like the painting idea too, but having talked to my painter decided the price for the decals was better and more convenient.

                    If you want to go all Euro-style:

                      3M has tape pin stripes, that is what I used on my bike.

                        The 3M tape works great, so does painting them on.

                        If you are clearing over decals or tape, it takes more clear coat, which is expensive, to bury them.

                        It doesn't take much clear to cover painted graphics or hand painted pinstripes or other graphics.
