I think you might find a RegEx using back-referencing and look-ahead is the
way to go...
REReplace(variables.start_str,'(..)(?!$)','\1:\2','all');
Full test below.
<cfscript>
variables.start_str = '1Z0617756740260660';
variables.end_str = REReplace(variables.start_str,'(..)(?!$)','\1:\2','all
');
writeOutput(variables.start_str & '<br>'); // Initial String
writeOutput('1Z:06:17:75:67:40:26:06:60<br>'); // Target result
writeOutput(variables.end_str); // Actual Result
abort;
</cfscript>
