[d8mof]

my k3 (in red with lower fairings)has the silver frame and wheels, quite fancy sum rim tape but can decide on colour !!!!! any ideas people ? red bike-silver wheels-silver frame ! Red ? black ? unsure..............:confused:

Red.
I don't think you'd notice the black that much on a red/silver bike.

Rim tape has only two advantages,
1. it's cheap (and looks it)
2. it's easy to take off.

If you really must then use paint, you'll get a far nicer effect.
Or if you can't do it with paint and have to use tape, at least take more than 5 minutes toput it on, done well it's OK I guess, but poorly applied it looks really bad and tacky.

Cheers Mark.

To to add to Mark' list above .

3. Advises all who see bike that the owner has no taste and in the market for blue neons

I like it if it is done well.

Oi Scoobs. you want to buy some cheap neons then mate

[Alpinestarhero]

no!!! dont fit rim tape!!!

Do it properly; take the wheel off, and fix it to something to rotate it at a decent speed. The take a brush of the thickness you want the paint line to be, and just hold it on the rim.

Then it wont be wonky (providing you have a steady hand)

Well, red on an otherwise all black bike (with perhaps red stickers for the motorcycle model e.g. GSXR, R6 etc) dosnt look bad

Its when you get a nice bike, then someone sticks day-glo green rim tape, and rushes the job aswell

kids, just say "no" to rim tape

[the_lone_wolf]

rim tape on sportsbikes is just wrong...

however, it can be added to a supermoto because there's nothing tasteful about them:

The trouble with rim tape is it's become the cool thing to say that it is not cool, therefore, making the non cool sayers uncool in the process hence rim tape is cool.

[Sideshow#36]

I quite like it. As long as it is the right color for the bike. If everone liked the same thing it would be quite boring!

[Dangerous Dave]

Too Chav, looks tacky, wouldn't bother!

+1 yup agree I have it one one of my bikes, it looks good but then it does match the rest of the bike.
