View Full Version : looking for the SE rim tape zartan January 29th, 2009, 12:22 AM Hi guys! I know you can get tape at tapeworks but I am looking for the thinner tape used on the special edition wheels. A dealer I went to yesterday could not find it on the parts list and I could not find it on Babbits, although I can find the decals for the Special edition fairing.But no mention of rim tape. any suggestions?

Look at the wheel P/N's, they end in B(black/green). zartan January 29th, 2009, 09:15 AM Thanks ! that would be about 20 bucks a wheel US + shipping. BlueTyke January 29th, 2009, 10:32 AM Okay this is an odd question... But if I wanted to get a dark purple rim tape for a Black 06 SE Haibusa how could I find that? tapework is rather confusing... kkim January 29th, 2009, 12:55 PM Okay this is an odd question... But if I wanted to get a dark purple rim tape for a Black 06 SE Haibusa how could I find that? tapework is rather confusing... call them up and ask? :D BlueTyke January 29th, 2009, 01:26 PM You mean you don't have an answer for me Kelly!? kkim January 29th, 2009, 01:37 PM thought I did give you an answer:confused:... you getting cabin fever?? First sign is asking questions that have just been answered. :suspicious: BlueTyke January 29th, 2009, 01:42 PM THE answer. sjsharks33 January 29th, 2009, 02:51 PM Im pretty sure the green on the SE rims are painted on and not a rim tape. I do like the thinner stripe on the wheels versus the wider rim tape I see. kkim January 29th, 2009, 03:01 PM John, Click on the link in HKr1's post. :) What you say may be true about it being painted on, but the thinner rim tape is available, although overseas. zartan January 29th, 2009, 11:32 PM Thanks everyone. It looks like tape to me, but I will go touchy feely it next time I am in. HKr1 January 30th, 2009, 03:09 PM The stock rims on my R1 had yellow stripes, I covered them with black. It was pretty thin stuff, think it came from e-bay. This was back in 06, who knows if he still around,,,,,, Let me have another drink(RUM). I might have answer to who he was :D Edit: I found the box, he sent me extra tape. So I have his name and address, says it 1/4" stuff. I remember he had all diff colors. Maybe will skim thru my e-bay feed back & see if I can find out more.....if it goes back that far? Tape is kinda of pain in the arse to put on, if you dont have front & rear stands..... I would wait till you do. I had a nice yellow line to follow, and still found hard to put on real straight. |
