[davepreston]

would a mod kindly move this thread to the chav section thanks ;)

[maviczap]

I thought it was going to break the U rating with a description following that thread tittle ;)

I think it looks ok on the sv, i used to love the red tape on mine.

Having said that, my yellow trumpet wont be getting any :-)

[martin15s]

sorry - I don't like ANY rim tape...

[andrewsmith]

nah!!
Agreeed this is in the wrong section Dave

[simesb]

Don't listen to them - they're just jealous.

IMO, tape looks fine on black wheels but not so hot on silver.

[-TB-]

What did I tell you? Chav.

[maviczap]

Its a marmite question

[mcgrimes]

i think a darker blue rim tape would more suit your sv!

[Hoody90]

I quite like rim tape, had some on my bandit and thought it made a big improvement in the looks. Don't know if I'll be putting any on the SV though, not sure what colour would go with a silver bike.

[Razor]

rim tape is wrong, never put anything on your bike that doesn't give it noticeable improvement

[lol omg wtf]

I will not be putting it on my sv as I dont think it looks good on silver wheels...
on my er5 I felt it looked ok.

It is much darker than in the picture, very similar colour to the bike, its reflective so looks lighter than it is in the pic.

Its quite reflective so its a good visibility aid and.....

"Naked K3 with every bit of SV650 logo tasteless bolt on added..."

Why do you ride yours then?

[Razor]

i bought it like that... soon as i find original parts rest assured they'll be going back on

if you just wanted the reflective qualities you could have got silver

[barwel1992]

if it was silver then it would be ok as its only for the reflective purpose, or black for black wheels (yes you can get black)

I have always thought black tape on black wheels looks fantastic, especially in the dark with no lights around and the moon covered by a cloud ;)
