Tapeworks will be closed Nov 5-30. Weeks of travel and then Thanksgiving. You can still place online orders but nothing will ship until early December.
Normal turnaround time to process, produce, and ship most orders is typically less than 1 week.
Some digitally printed products may take 2 weeks.
Thanks for your patience!
Rimstripes being produced from here forward will now only be available in 80” BIG RIM sizes, to simplify things on our end.
Our remaining stock of 60” STD RIM Rimstripes will be available until they’re gone.
Some vinyls have not been very popular (like dark greens and peach) and we will not be ordering any more of those vinyls.
We are trying to stay on top of things, but with the wide range of colors and products offered, plus scaling back the manpower, surely some things will slip through the cracks.
We recommend everybody take a deep breath, cross your fingers, watch the tracking, and have a few Happy Hours while waiting! We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thanks
- Rob and Ryan
Tapeworks got its start in the late 1980s, with Rob carting around a then state-of-the-art Macintosh computer and a vinyl cutter to motorcycle races in New England. When the family moved to North Carolina in 1992, the equipment came along, and Tapeworks moved to a location on Highway 401 in Garner, then to a unit in Monk's Rental, to a unit in the SuperDroid building, to Rob's basement in Holly Springs, and now their basement in Weaverville.
If we have made something in the past that you really liked, or if you were eyeing one of our kits, now is the time to order it!
Hi, Ryan here, by the way; I'm Rob's son, you've probably spoken to me on the phone, and ultimately I don't have the forty-plus years of knowledge about vintage motorcycles that Rob has, and as such I have chosen not to take over the business. I appreciate my dad giving me a job these last eight years, but we both agree that it is time to move on to bigger and better things. For me, that means music-related activities, and for Rob, semi-retirement, traveling the world with Barb, and riding his bicycles and motorcycles in the mountains.
We are in talks about selling or licensing our patent for the Stripe-It-All Tool in order to keep it available, but we are not entirely sure what to do with thirty-plus years of logos and designs for all the bikes we have worked on in that time. We will also have lots of vinyl material to go through, and will probably end up selling all equipment. If you are interested, please reach out to Rob at info@tapeworks.com
We still have every single design we have ever created in our computer system somewhere. Generic Kits, Logos, flames, reproductions, custom work, it's all still here. Let us make you some decals!
For all of you reading this, thank you for your patronage. It has given us something to be proud of, and has kept us busy for the last forever!
