Looks Great Zombie! You have really had some unique ideas that work well with the XB.
If I were to change anything, I would go with a different shade of red laces. The red stripe on the rims are spot on, but the red in the laces is the wrong shade of red IMHO. You have to look REAL close to even notice though, so if you left them alone, it's no biggie. Besides, opinions are like ********. Everybody's got one.

You are doing a phenomenal job on that bike! Keep up the good work!

Bummer, I just bought them on eBay. I wish I would have read your post earlier.

I've had it on for a few weeks. It looks like it's on there for good. I'm sure at some point I will have to reaply but if it's only once a year that would be great.

Yeah, that's the closest we could find. You wouldn't think it would be hard to find red leather lace but it was quite a task.

Looks good, totally forgot about the rim tape, that stuff should stay on forever as long as you cleaned the rims then wipe em down with lint free cloth and alcohol, then apply the tape and wil last and last. Used to use those on steel rims for trucks and jeeps

Actually, when I think about it, that makes sense. It's a pain in the *** finding the exact color paint, let alone leather that is dyed exactly right.
