ok, so im thinking about making an extra, extra long homemade chopper fork for one of my bikes, which happens to be all blue. i found some blue/white camoflague bar tape, and it looks absolutely sick. i had this idea to put it on the forks. it's supposedly very durable tape, and i think it would look neat. the fork will be stationary, not a springer-type deal. i only ride on the street, so it probably wont get too dirty. here's a pic of the bike, and the camo tape page. questions/comments/advice welcome.

Also, I love that seat.

Why don't you just ripp off those plastic grips and do the whole bar with that camo tape. That would look sick.
