Hi guys, looking for some rim tape (yes bring on all the abuse) for my bandit 600.

Came across this stuff from a company called customtaylor33 claiming to be the most reflective stuff out there, just want to know if anyone has bought it before, and whether it really looks as good as they say?

Reason for wanting rim tape is look good, oh yeah and be seen Thumbs Up

No amount of rimtape will make a Bandit look 'good' Wink

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!

Rim tape is for faggots, and it never looks good.

If someone can't see a large, almost blinding headlight... what makes you think they are gonna see some shiny wheels?

My rimtape genuinely improves the look of my bike. The reflective aspect also allows it to be far more visible at night from the side.

Rolling Eyes

As such that is going to give them milliseconds to avoid you... But that will be taken up by the WTF is that glowing stuff. Followed by thud Karma

Petrol station pull outs, car parks......Every little helps.

I'd be happy even if mine wasn't reflective.

Having spent 2 days taking the rim tape off that some screaming manchild had blathered onto my 400, I would actually go out of my way to avoid buying a bike with it on in future.

The main question here is would you buy a bandit 600 (lol) and then attach some useless tat to the wheels to make you look well sik bruv?

Would you cover you bike in rubber dicks?

Rim tape is the closest thing to this.

After the almost flourescent green of the Kawasak'si wheels the black ones on my blue R1 looked dull amongst the black swing arm, etc so I applied Halfords white (reflective) rim tape. I think it improved the looks.
