R56 belt line

I am planning on blacking out a friends belt line on his new R56. Does anybody know the exact measurement of the belt line width in inches??
I know that it is wider than the R53's belt line. Thanks in advance

Lyle

The tape for the Gen 1's is much thinner than the R56 and the samples I have here of other sizes are not quite a good match....I am looking at other manufacturers to find a good replacement,,,

I went out and measured the belt line and it looks to be 3/4". I have seen this
product recomended in the R53 section before. Does anyone know how long it will last and look good?

yes, it is too wide by about 1/8" but it is the next thicker tape available...we have some in stock but the option is not on our site for the R56...just email us if you want one...you will need to cut about 1/8 off once it is installed.

ac,
