Hi Rob,
Day after I send you an email about my order the bits arrive on the mat. COOOOOOL, got them on in a jiffy and they look the dogs b*****ks, piccy to follow when I stop my mates drooling over it. The Fire red and black go REALLY well with the Honda stock yellow (could be a new line for you to consider??!!)
When you see the picture you'll notice I have a custom lower fairing, would you consider designing add-on decals for that bit too??
From a very satisfied Brit,
regards,
Andy

Hello Rob @ TapeWorks,
I just gotta say that I love the kit for the VFR! Its been a few months since I put the stickers on the bike, they look great!
A quick question...What glue, if any, should I use to fix the few "sticker points" that have come up? ( ya know the pointy parts on the cowl stickers).Its so nice to have a VFR that looks different from all the rest.....Mine is the only one that I have see thus far :) :)
Donald,
Glad to hear you are different from the rest. That's what it's all about!
Get some clear nailpolish and put a little dot over those points that are coming up so that the dot is contacting the point and the bodywork.
Sincerely,
Rob

Rob,
Hi, I own a 94 FZR1000 and am planning to add some Tapeworks graphics to it soon. But until I get the money I got bored so I stripped the stock decals off it. If you haven't already found out, removing the adhesive can be hard. Some of the removers are pretty expensive. A friend of mine let me in on a cheap alternative that doesn't damage the paint and removes the adhesive residue very well. Ever heard of HEET? It is commonly known as a gas line drier.
I figured you fine people at Tapeworks might want to try it and pass it along as a tip to your customers. In my area, adhesive remover is about $5-$10 a bottle. 1 bottle of HEET did my whole bike and cost me $0.99.
Hey, got any carbon-fiber ideas for my bike? It is all metallic black with black/semi-polished rims. Thanx,
Matthew Clemens

Hey Rob,
Just wanted to drop you a line and commend you on the stickers I just received today. I am absolutely thrilled with the way they turned out. You guys did a GREAT job on preparing them. Also, thanks a bunch for the extra Muzzy R&D logos. I appreciate it. I haven't tackled the rim striping yet, that look kinda hard to do.
You will be hearing from me soon for some Renthal and Lockart/Philips logos.
Thanks again man.
Take care,
Michael Gambone

You might have your creative types take a look at what can be for a Valkyrie. Carbon patterns in colors, and flames for those who would like a nastalgic look. Variable flames moving from blue to green, blue to red, red to purple etc. similar to a cutting torch flame with too much O2. Your reflective tape style in logos of this type would sell on Vals and Harleys. Thanks. Great safety products, best I've found.

We, at Relaxed Customs, pride ourselves in our craftsmanship and your vinyl tape has been a significant cost saver and creativity tool that no other Truck or Car can compete with the vehicles we have used it on for interior highlighting. This tape allows us to cover areas only the big priced dash companies wish they could. Ours become one of a kind.
We have used your product on four of our vechiles todate and it is always a topic of conversation of "how did you do that?" when we are at shows. It may make sense that you may want to use us for advertising purposes or we can distribute business cards or promo flyers at shows we attend.
Here are some pictures of the vehicles we have customized and the current one which is a 1995 Saturn Wagon. Project code name "Yellow Fever".
These shots were from a recent custom interior I did on my daily driver 91 Saturn SL2.
Here are exterior shots of the two trucks we used this product on.
This one, "Color of Money" will be on the November 1998 issue of MiniTruckin
This is the latest Truck we are working on, "On Fire"
We attend a lot of shows to show off our vehicles and our vehicles end up in many magazines. So if you would like us to display, promote or help you advertise let us know.
Best Regards,

Hello,
First I would like to say that the kits on your site are AWESOME!!! I would never have imagined that there was so much you could do with a little imagination. I mean for example the Katana looking GSX-R. That was something. The other kits and stuff for the other bikes was unbelievable. Your staff has some very talented people. I was wondering if there is a kit in the works or a kit that could fit a Suzuki RF-600R? I bought my bike about 6 months ago. It is a 1994 in the Metallic Blue and I wanted to make the bike more alive looking like the GSX-R's and other more mainstream sportbikes here. I would really appreciate any help that you could offer me.
Thank You,
Wayne
And our response:
Wayne,
One possibility would be One Kit'm Fit'm, part #5500. This kit will install on any bike (you just have to do some trimming).
Here is another new kit (not even on the website yet) shown installed on a 98 Katana 750. Stay tuned to the website for soon to be posted part # and price.
Sincerely,
Rob

Wassup. I got the R1 done for now (1st visit). ?The pic sux, this new point/shoot camera sux. Need another SLR. Graphix look great. Carbon went on nicely. I didn't have time to chrome the small parts i wanted to, but it still looks pretty good.. This one might even end up with a single-sided arm later this year.
More details later. C'ya

Hey Rob,
I finally got some photos with the graphics kit I bought for my Suzuki GSX-R 600. I can send you a clearer image when I get the chance... I thought I'd send you a preview of how good my bike looks with the kit.
The photo is from NHIS (Loudon, NH) going into turn 3 (4/18/98).
Thanks!

Hello,
I just wanted to tell you guys thanks for all of the help and support I received from you. I was just looking around the web and I decided to visit your site. I saw a thumbnail picture of a silver gsxr in the "customer bike, of the month", it looked familiar so I clicked on it. Surprise, it was my '97 silver gsxr. I sent the pictures a while ago and we had some trouble finding the right format if you remember. Thanks for the assistance and thanks for choosing my bike as customer bike of the month".
If you decide to add customer links later, I ask you please add my page at Http://home1.gte.net/Jaret
thanks again.

I'm trying out a digital camera so here are two small, hopefully, picks of the 200. Note the use of black reflective tape I special ordered from tapeworks.com. In daylight the cowl stripes look black, at night they really light up!

Hi, it's Rick Williams again Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I like my Tapeworks graphics. They were a breeze to install thanks to your comprehensive instructions - the troubleshooting guide was very helpful.
I repainted my red/white/black 1996 Honda CBR600F3 into a solid red color, then added tastefull gold Honda logos thanks to Tapeworks. The bike looks righteous!
I rode my solid red CBR600 with gold logos to my office today for the first time since repainting, and one of my Japanese coworkers blurted out "it's beautiful!" It makes all the hard work I did carefully installing the logos, taking apart that jigsaw-puzzle fairing and reassembling it worthwhile, heh.
So thanks again for everything!
Simple, and very effective. Fire-engine red kicks butt!
Regards,
Rick Williams
