Just put some rim tape on my bike and was wondering what you lot think. Personnally I really like the look :cheers: but can understand why it doesnt float everyone's boat.

All I see are boxes with red x's in. Will have to wait until I get home before I can make up my mind I guess. Although I don't like rim tape on wheels anyway. Looks cheap and tacky.

I'm not sure if that pulls it off or not......Sometimes i like it and sometimes I dont.

Nice choice of exhaust though ;) same as mine.......is yours a US baffleless one or Jap one fitted with baffle?

Hmm, I'm with G. Just not sure. Perhaps another colour such as white would have been better. Sort of like white stilletto's on an essex bird! :p

Baffles what are they officer?? This one is baffle-less and very loud for an IL4!

Normally I think its cheesy, but in your case it looks pretty good

I can't decide if it looks better or worse than before. Probably just as good. It's what you like that's the main thing anyways...

HA indeed, the yoshi rs5 is rather loud, on a recent ride out when people got lost they stopped and headed for the noise.

Oh. Now I have seen it, its worse than I imagined. Although it looks okay up close so you can see the detail, from anything more than a couple of feet it just looks like it's missing bits in places. Don't like it at all.

I like it, normally don't but it suits the bike in this case..

I would prefer solid red rim tape, as it would look better from a distance.

There's a silver CBF600 at work that has been 'accessorised' with blue anodized footpegs etc. and has blue rim tape. That looks really nasty, but yours suits the bike.
