Rim tape?

Post by goody »

Got my wheels off at the moment been looking at the number of bikes with rim tape fitted, should I put it on an all black Storm?

I don't have it on my Bandit ,but did have on my 'storm,..it's easy to fit and looks good if done right imo.

I saw a black Kawasaki with chrome coloured rim tape ,zzr1400 i think,it looked smart .

I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's all a question of taste if you ask me, some bikes it enhances, other, it doesn't

IMHO it's all down to personal choice, if you like it then fit :!: Simples :thumbup:

If you do decide to fit it, it has to be done properly otherwise it does look poo :thumbdown:

Mine has it on and I think it looks OK - Mind you I remember tyre pens and painstakingly painting the lettering back in the 80's :lol:
