HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

i bought some rim sticker tape from demon tweeks, got it in great time no probs. Untill i went to put it on the bike, i heated up the rim and cleaned before i put it on, the tape was brittle and just snapped when you did anything with it, i have 4 joins instead of on on one side of a wheel manage to do the otherside carfully and then wasnt ended up with enought on the roll to do the rear wheel. hmmmmmmmm my brothers tape was fine but why was mine, ill have to see if they send me new one, i sent an email.

rant done Lol

Serves you right for buying rim tape!

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

haha there is nothing wrong with it, i think it makes the bike look better, my brother has it on his blade red on black and looks awsome, im just going with blue tho. its not that bad really.

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!

Y C dishes out sympathy & mechanical advice in equal measure!
Better not upset him, may well need the latter & too inept to warrant the former.

rim tape...we call it bogroll

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

But it's already got a H*nda badge on it, so who cares if you make it look worse.

Suzuki have a reputation you should be upholding. :p

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

ok go on then answer me this, what is wrong with rim tape? and dont just day because its rim tape.

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

althought when he opens the throttle i might has well not moved from where i was because thats what it looks like from anyone who sees him open the throttle when im already doing 80.

but obv suzuki is better.

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

Where do I start.

From a performance point of view it is extra unsprung weight and rotating mass right at the edge of the wheel, thus affecting braking acceleration and ease of turning. With the resulting loss in fuel economy.

From an aesthetic point of view. Chavchavchavchavchav.

From a maintenence point of view, you wouldn't be able to see it after about 1000 miles, and if you actually clean your bike more often than that, or indeed at all, then poof.

From a cost point of view, it does f##k all so why buy it. Exactly zero efficiency as a modification. Maybe even negative considering the losses incurred above.

So, except for the weight saving from your wallet. Why bother with it? Other than to be a tart. Spend the dosh on a tank of fuel instead...

Or even polish the rims, looks better and saves weight...

gid i dont think it appropriate to show pictures of your kinky toys on the forum haha

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

polish the rims no way, if you want shinny metal bits why dont you buy a chopper. now i think we both have a dislike. and i want statistics to back up your explination, of weighing the wheels down, fuel economy being poorer and bad handling Lol

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

OK go weigh your rim tape and I will do the sums. Also I need to know the radius of the rim tape in relation to the centre of the wheel.

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

haha i can do that for you, urm but considering i had **** tape i need to find all the small parts that fell apart, o and my brother washes his bike alot and no poof, and yes i keep my bike very clean, and before you say, i ride my bike alot as well.

:) in all wethers except snow.

:mrgreen:

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

for once the YC agrees with something on my bike:smt104

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

oi nowt wrong with polished rims....much better than chavvy rim tape. AND I feckin hate choppers

p.s Hows the fork polishing going? :-)

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

haha dizzy, im guessing you have an objection to the tape then?

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

havent managed to get them off yet, i had my raf interview today so couldnt do it today and need the bike for tomorrow but i will et to it at some point :mrgreen:

and im am not chavvy, just think the rim tape gives it an extra look

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

well....polished forks go very well with polished rims.;-)





much better than rim tape:mrgreen:

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

hmmm i dont like polished rims but every one has there own taste ay. the reason i was going to polish forks is because the lacker is corroding or the ally but somethings corroding.

:mrgreen:

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

its the laquer breaking down and lifting, and the ally corroding underneath

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

either way doesnt sound good to me, its not too bad at the moment but want to do it before i does get too bad. :smt115

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

don't matter how bad they get, they can still be resurrected. Mine were extremely bad, just took a lot more elbow grease;-)

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

i might leave them for a little then..........

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

although I wouldn't recommend leaving them to get reeeeeaaaalllly bad! :-)

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
 

haha i would have probably guessed that, i like my bike lloking good any way so i wouldnt let them get bad

Re: HMMM Demon Tweaks!
