    Hello all,

    Looking at the picture of my bike it looks like it needs something to tie the wheels in to the rest of the bike as they look a little bland.
    I was thinking of putting some rim tape on but don't know what colour to go for, I was thinking of either silver, white or orange.
    What is your opinion on rim tape colour or should I just leave it?

    Cheers
    Stu.

    I'd go with invisible or see-through.

    Failing that...black.

    I want to say orange but I think it may clash with the orange you got so I say get some repsol fairings :D

    I would say leave as it is as rim tape looks better in bright colours IMO but I may have some orange rim tape in the garage somewhere its only enough to do one side of one wheel but I can post it too you if you want to see what it will look like

    I think the bike would be improved by orange trim on the wheels
