The important thing is whether it looks nice to YOU.

Fuck everyone else.

[veeeffarr]

By the way - I think they look nice if the colour is chosen well.

[landy.s11a]

its ok if you can get it to stick properly

like everyone said, if you like it but also some bike look really nice with it, some look a state!!

Firstly, choose colour wisely and get a good finish (not wonky) as if its looks wonky no point as will look rubish!!

[Simple]

depends on bike,

also depends on colour,

ALSO depends if its been put on well, ie in a curve/circle not in strait sections


looks good on sports bikes supermotos etc, funky bikes,

don't think it would work on the more 'ordinary' gpz 500

Depends on the bike. I think it verges on the tacky side - even when done well, up close, you can still see the joins.

I peeled mine off after uuming and aaring about my decision for 5 weeks.

[Groove]

Good.

Personally i think rim tape is good for contrast, if you have a black bike with red decals then rim tape looks like a tastefull add.

Groovearmada. Your CBR looks Lush

It also proves my point on contrast!

[Simple]

Looked great on my old NC30, got white wheels and blue tapes on my R6, also look very dappa.

Never seen a bike that it's actually made look better.

Wouldn't let it near my race bikes, however gaudy their colour schemes.
(Until I realise how much hassle painting SV wheels orange is, anyway ).

[JonB]

Where do you buy rim tape from and how much is it? Think some white rim tape would look good on mine.
