Love the rim tape. What mirrors are those Maxxasubie? Trojan? How is the visibility vs stock?

I found this thread on the fz6-forum site... The rim tape looks like is easy to obtain and easier to install by hand-eye coordination, rather than by the applicator.

I think I know what my next mod is- if you can call it a mod... kekeke

Here's more links for where to buy it. Only $14 not too shabby... $13 on Amazon...

Actually rim tape is a bitch to get just right. I tried twice. Even the pre curved stuff came out crooked and wavy. To me it just doesn't look good enough to put the work into taking the wheel off to do it right.

Why buy those Trojan mirrors when you can put the R6S mirrors on for the same money, they look better, and actually work?

Heard about the R6S Mirrors for a while now and finally stopped being lazy and searched around the forums for pictures... they look nice but my main concern is drilling the second hole's position.
