This stretching of the tape can be frustrating to a perfectionist. But the more you practice the better you will get doing it. After I have the tape the way I want it (usually about an hour later. ) I use my utility knife to "score" the tape along the light. It's nice with the R6 because there is a gap that I can follow. Use a lot of caution because you can chip/scratch your paint if you go through the tape with the knife. I found out that if you just "score the tape" and hold tension on it, it will seperate cleanly on it's own. You will see what I mean in the pictures that follow.
Once I score and "tear" the tape, I use my finger to firmly press it into place on the "ledges" of the lights as I show in the second picture...please ignore the bugs on my bike...I was in a hurry to get these pictures done so I could get this info posted.

And that's pretty much it! Repeat for all headlights and the tail light. Wha-La! You, my friends, are now ready to rail that bike on the track with the rest of the "boys"!!!
