Does anyone have rim tape on their wheels i am thinking of putting rim decals on not the full tape, but not sure if it would look chavvy on this  bike. I did it on the SX and it looked really good, but different style of bike. I know Mr K sells rim tape but never seen a GTR with them on. If anyone does have them fitted i would be grateful for pictures.

this one but white /green

I think that looks good, but with things like rim tape it depends on how it actually looks when applied to your bike....in other words I reckon you should try it and see, if you really don't like it it shouldn't be too difficult to remove again   :yes: 

I don't know if anyone on here has it fitted  :smiley:

rim tape can have a good effect ,but if it is not applied correctly and straight looks cheap ,it is a sod to get off once it is stuck in place !!

I had the silver ones on my black wheels. Asif now has the wheels and I think he left them on..

Thanks for the input all

Debs - Spot on thank you, just what i was looking for you have convinced me to fit them they look good.

I'm wondering what green rim tape would look like on mine to match the green line on fairing and panniers.

Just ordered them white / green - K & 1400 in green - should be with me tuesday, ordered 16 as i like 3 each side per wheel, i had this combo on the SX and they looked really well.

PRD - Go for it that would look really good complementing the other green highlights.

Very nice  :smiley:

I was under the impression that rim tape was pin stripe tape that went the around the diameter of the wheel ?

I think it would have a hard time sticking to the dirt on mine..
