Rim Tape: Suggestions needed...

[racing_fan]

Ok so here is my pride and joy...

I have been thinking about putting on rim tape...but cannot decide on the colour...

Suggestions??

 

[REO Scorpio]

Black reflective is my vote. Keep it clean and uniform. If you introduce color on the rims, I think you'd have to have it elsewhere.

Just my vote...

Looks perfect. I wouldn't touch the rims.

Think about it, you've got a black and silver bike. The wheels are already silver. The only other option that will go with anything else on the bike is black. And I think that would just take away from the contrast between the tire and the wheel. If your bike was blue or red, then I could see how the rim tape would fit into the overall scheme. But on your bike it would stick out like a sore thumb.

The mark of a true artist is knowing when to put the paintbrush down.

Thats the exact chain of thought that led me to ask for suggestions!!

I got this bike last year including the fairings, its a 04 model..and I was told the fairings are stock as well. Since then enough people have asked about them, making me think I have unknowingly got my self a rare and desirable set-up!! But I have no suggestions as to where to get those.... sorry!

EDIT: Just did another search and this time I found them!!

So its not a stock part, the guy I got the bike from was probably misinformed as well (he was not the original owner).

Great looking bike man!! I agree with leaving it or adding something descrete.

Those silver wheels are perrrrrfect. I wouldn't put anything on them:thumbup:

 

[Evitzee]

Leave it .... with a monochromatic setup like that you don't want to add color.

I like the silver/black and wouldn't bother with any colors but, if you are looking for safety, then get a silver one. That's what I did for my swing arm and going for reflective black for my wheels.

I put these on and always thought it looked good. They're not reflective but I liked the graphic design of them:
