The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Finally installed new Reflector Tape on my wheels. Just thought i'd share some pictures!

Yes! Suits the scoot! Cheers on the dash stop dash look! I'm glad I'm Seeing this on the PCX! Do tell, how difficult was this pattern to apply? That must take a steady hand and much patience, but the Look is so worth it! (o:

Thanks WhiteNoise! I did think the dashstop dash style would give it a bit more style and dress up the wheel a bit. It wasn't too difficult considering i did it inside my garage in the 109 degree weather here in Arizona. The back wheel was much easier since i was able to rotate it on the pcx stand. I used a starting point and then used a small string to separate distance with the next strip of tape. The string i used was just under 3.5 inches. I do recommend using just a bit of soapy water (not too much) to spray on the rim as you set the tape. Not difficult at all, I just took my time.

Snazzy! Did you have to cut the long tape to the curve of the wheel, or did it just bend around?

Dustin91- the strips come pre curved. I just had to make very small adjustments to curve around the PCX rim. No creases during application.

I like that a lot. Where did you get it? I hope it is available online.

Same, I'd love to know who supplies curved tape. I put some pieces of 3M's red reflective tape on the panels. It blends right in during the day, and seems quite reflective at night. Still, I'm digging the look of the rims. Really nicely done!

I got them from Amazon. A company called "Vehicleartz" Here is the Link:

Thanks for the link!

Your wheel tape looks great!

I got a precurved kit for my Tmax and didnt take the time, and it looks like crap.
It's more about your skill and patience than the tape itself.
Mine was a solid line all around and your segmented bits look much better.
Ill be redoing mine and the PCX as well.
Great post!

Here's one of the better sides:

Link to segmented one?

Picked up one of these wheel cleaning stands awhile back at Harborfreight (using one of their coupons). "This" just might take some frustration out of the job

But you've got a mainstand...

Handy for cleaning the front wheel though.

can't you just use the side stand, and push your scoot backwards

To youz guys: If I use this wheel cleaning stand on the front tire along with the centerstand would it make the bike unstable? I thought this would help to spin the front wheel while cleaning (yes Ali) as well as applying rim tape (If I do it). The rear wheel is free to spin (as we know) on centerstand, so not being used for that.
Sidestand? Moving bike back or forward....I'm aware of that option. Don't want to stand up then down to roll, up then down to roll. Bad back here. Looking for easier ways, that's all. Thought this roller would come in handy (for me, maybe others).
I do enough dummy things with my achy breaky backy....once in awhile "I" have to behave, show a little respect for me bones
Okay, so whatcha thinking? Am I safe to use it with the centerstand (for youyou, "mainstand") or no? Thank yas for opinions...always appreciated!

I've also got the same style reflective tape but in red on my red PCX. I really like the look as it is a little different to the solid rim tape you normally see and in the winter should highlight the PCX a little more..

It was a bit of a pain to install, as you did i had a piece of tape as a spacer to get the right distance.
Sorry i only have this picture not as close up and as clear as yours.

Good job Spice! Looks great in Red!
