Gold Microns, tireflies, and coloured anodised bolts... All chavvier than rim tape (since rim tape can be done well) but all take back seat to the ultimate in chavdom, fake carbon fibre. Say it 3 times and it'll appear all over your bike, and you'll have no choice but to kill yourself.

I think Law has changed his exhaust, but I still have my blueflame on a black bike

I think RimTape looks cool. All the GP boys have it. Even Ducati put it on the new 1098. Anyway, its not as bad as fitting a scottoiler!

Removable rimtape?

But I agree - right colour can look good.

Blue LEDs. Bad enough on a seventeen-year-old's clapped out car, but on a bike? I saw them only the other day. Yuck.

Oii i have a scotoiler! well hidden though.

Personally i think GP style stickers or any other type of stickers on the bike look proper chav, even more than rim tape!
