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.

Last time I saw his bike they were still on Debs :yes:
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..
Fitted the decals today and really like them better than i expected, prefer 3 per wheel than 2.
yeah....very very nice, I likey, :yes:
have you got a link to the supplier ? I cant see where that colour is available
Looks very nice.
Is the green stripes tape as well or pinstripes :yes:
Liking this. Where is it from.

That bike is disgustingly clean :cool: :cool:
Hi All - the link on the OP shows red / white but if you were to order just put a comment in the note to supplier section at payment stage that you require Green / white - or any colour combo you prefer for that matter, that's all i did and got what you see. The service was fantastic got the goods in 3 days from ordering.
The green stripes are tape that i painted ( candy Lime Green ) then applied, if i were ever to sell the bike i can just remove the tape and put back to standard if need to, also if i were to scuff one i can just remove and replace --- Simples!!
I am a little OCD with the cleaning i like to get in all the nooks and crannies but not as bad as some lads i know.
Perfect....thanks Zed :clap:

Looks awesome Zed
Thanks for the thumbs up everyone.
Debs -- Just looking at the picture you posted of your wheels in this thread and i noticed there is quite a bit of oxidisation on the ABS ring. Funnily enough i went to my local K Dealer yesterday as i have the same issue, to see if i could put in a warranty claim ( i still have 6 month warranty ) the service guy said it was easily a claim he took pictures etc and i will know the outcome this week.
Anyone else had this issue??
Yes zed. I've already cleaned it up and put silver Hammerite on it but it's not stopped it. I will get another next time I need the tyres changed
just got confirmation Big K have honoured the warranty claim so will be going in soon to have the ABS ring changed.
was thinking of powder coating mine but unsure if it will mess with the abs sensor

It could be cheaper and quicker to order a replacement...just a thought :smiley:

I would have ordered a new one if it was out of warranty.
