Looks good...got a lot accomplished. I've done most of that in the past and out of all of it the one thing I had most trouble with for some reason is the freakin' rim tape...looked like crap so I peeled it off and will attempt it again later.

I didn't use an applicator and attempted it with the wheels on the bike but for whatever reason it just didn't come out right. It looks like the tape you used was a bit wider than what I used...maybe that will make a difference when I attempt it again.

Oh it was a fucking pain, bro!!! Plus as it got cooler, the tape got harder to put on. I did an okay job for doing it by hand with the wheels on the bike. I may redo it some other time in the Summer. Now, I'm off to install the exhaust!
