I was walking around my local bike shop looking for a few parts that I knew they wouldn't stock, and I came across the "Speedmetal Wheel Stripe" so I went ahead and grabbed 'em. (I removed all the decals from my Graffiti ed. and am going to do red accents through my bike and I really like the look of the rims from the R6 Raven.)
So the question... What is your first impression when you come across a bike with these on these stripes on the rims?
After getting one strip on I immediately took it off... 60s to apply, 20 minutes to remove.
Rim stripes look great, some bikes have them stock. On the other hand, I've seen some bikes I think just look cleaner without them. A pain to put on none the less -_-'
Well, job done. Looks pretty good I think. Application was a bit tricky, and Iḿ sure ill do a better job next time, but it will do for now. Bang for buck its a super cheap mod, cost me about £5 ($8)..
When I had the F4i I was looking up reflective rim tape. At night, they look like they light up, I thought it was freaking cool lol.
But now on the RR, I just can't touch the white rims
Like everyone else said, rim tape rocks! It's a very cheap mod that you can do quickly and it just helps bring the bike together as a whole. Not to mention the benefits of having a reflective surface on your bike at night. Nothing squiddish about improved safety. :thumbup:
I think the stripes look really good in general - some better than others, but why not? Not sure how it could be squidish to make the bike look better or more visible.
I don't know. I got it on last night and first thing that popped in my head were those ricers driving **** civics with holes in their mufflers and every sticker they could find slapped on the side to add HP.

I'm a bit irritated right now. I got all the tape put on and remember how I said I got it put in the first rim (1 side)... Well now I dot have enough to finish and I'll have to go buy another roll on Friday.
I got my back rim done and all except for about a 3" portion on my left front.
Did you overlap a bunch? I'm pretty sure one package/roll should be enough for all four sides, at least my progrip says it does. I haven't put it on yet though.
Yesterday I did one side of my back rim then took it off cause I didn't like the way it looked. So I pretty much did this too myself, otherwise I would have had enough.
LOL happens :crackup:did you use any tools or just the plastic applier in the box? i had an 08 gixxer and a guy did a terrible job putting them on. and you have it on the stand right?
Rim tape is and always will be the best bang for the buck mod you can do to your bike imo. Def makes the wheels pop! i picked up the Progrip ones which look very similar to the ones you posted OP.
Do cops bother any of you about reflective tape? I've been looking them up, and now I'm really thinking about doing it, particularly in white...
Ps. I'm a big fan of Tron lol
Wouldn't think they would bug you about it. Its reflective and adds visibility. If they do give you crap for it then tell them to remove the stickers from their squad since they are reflective as well
