Where do you have helicopter/bike tape on yours?
Funny you posted this i've just spent this afternoon re applying Heli tape to my Five after doing a crap job first time.
I have the inside and underside of the driveside swingarm wrapping round to non wheelside for a cm or so. Two patches for my heels on the swing arm outer side. Fives look dont suit swingarm protectors IMO.
Under the downtube - 2 thin strips down either side of the weld.
One patch either side on the side of the downtube where the cables rub near headtube.
Round your corners off too - helps minimise it lifting.
Why along the welds?
Thanks Carbon that really helps.
It feels good to join the 5 club.
Why along the welds?
Either side of the weld on downtube just to make it look nice as it will crinkle and not lie flat on the weld.
Some people may cover that long weld - i dont know - i just didnt bother and its fairing ok after 3 months use so far.
