Thanks guys! It's actually chrome pinstriping on the tank, 1/4 inch thick and 30 ft long on a roll. I bought it for $5 at Advanced auto parts.
And the chrome tape that i used on the swingarm comes in 3 inch and 6 inch wide, it was $10 at advanced auto parts as well. I bought the 6inch wide, but ended up cutting alot of it long ways since our swingarms are 2 3/4 inch high. My chrome tape came with a plastic flat edge to get the bubbles out as you apply it.
I cut out 4 seperate pieces for each ide of the swingarm.
-One for the dipped-in section where the axle bolts up.
-One long piece for the entire side of the swingarm, cut it so that it so that it aligns just along the edge of the top and side of the swingarm and leave at the bottom to tuck under.
The next 2 pieces are on the top but I split them up to avoid crinkling of the tape and it work.
-One from where the shock bolts back.
-And the last One from where the shock bolts forward.The trick to this piece is to use the natural weld thats there to hide the seem.And to get the exact shape of the tops curve you simply hold the tape face up to the bottom curve of the swingarm and trace a line, cut it and then just leave 1/8 lip so that it falls just on the edge and covers the top of the side chrome strip.
Just make sure everything is clean and there's no sand or dirt beucase it will show through the chrome tape. Also their was a protective dull film covering the chrome I left it on each piece until i smoothed it out and then removed it with an exacto knife from the edge Before puting on the next piece....other wise it will pull it apart at the seems. It actually looks way better in person, especially during the day. Let me know if you got any more Questions
Now if I can only find a headlight nacelle to fit my bike...Hmmm black or chrome, preferably black...
