Chucked some rim tape on my bike today. Gotta be honest, I think it looks brilliant. Adds some more colour to the dark areas.

Oh and I thought I'd add some Xmas cheer to my hooligan-mobile :cool:

Cheers Darren. I've actually had people mistake it for a Hornet in that photo!

Oh and the Santa hat seems to be getting quite a response. Lots of waves and laughs, spreading Xmas cheer like a boss.

Using a few carefully placed strips of Velcro. Has been speed tested to around 55 so far, and had no issues.

Word of warning though, using without a tinted visor can cause serious embarrassment :D

I have used it with a clear visor, but it gets a serious amount of attention, so you have been warned.

Top top. Stuff the inside with carrier bags. It gives it some volume while adding no weight :D
