    I'm looking for some pics of XJ's with stripes painted/stuck on the tank. I have some ideas for mine but want to have a look at others first. Here's a crappy pic of what I was thinking

    I`m just getting started on my paint, but will post a picture for you, as soon as I can. It`s basically, just a flat black paint job, with a single Candy red strip down the middle.

    go to a good electrical supply store, get some electrical tape in the color and width you like and put on some temporary stripes
    sometimes it takes a while to decide, look at them for a while, move them till you find what you want
    don't stretch it putting it on
    i never did decide, i just change it when i get tired of it

    I like it!

    I think your pic is a good enough example to say go for it!

    yeah, the pic doesn;t look that bad....I'd be looking at putting a Yamaha symbol on the tail part too....sort of interupting the stripe....

    I did something similar with my 2-up tail, broke up the checkers with a decal (pardon the messed up indicators - gone now):

    Looks like we all have the same taste in racing stripes.

    Here's what I did on my other bike. I was going for the "Eleanor" look (Gone in 60 Seconds). Love that car.
