I have to say I like it. The tape really ties in well with the tank cover decals and the rear shock absorber spring.

I may have to consider this but in blue for my bike... It really breaks up the blackness of the bike.

Nice.

I must be missing something, but there does seem to be an underlying obsession for Carbon Cans on this site! what exactly is the appeal? There are loads of quality exhaust companies that make cans for the XT. Why have so many elected to put CCC's on their bike? :dontknow:

Akrapovic, Arrow, Termigoni, to name but a few. All used by racers world wide. I maybe wrong but I dont remeber any race teams that choose CCC as their supplier (of course I maybe wrong). So what is the lure that Carbon Can brings? I am curious!

If everyone had fitted Akras would you ask the same question?

One substantial reason is price, doubled with the fact that CCC offer a discount to forum members.

Also the fact that practially all CCC owners are totally satisfied with them (except for certain KTM crossover people ;)), including Kev which sums it up for me.

Choice is yours mate, everyone here has voiced their own opinions, what you chose to do with the feedback is entirely up to you ;)

Denny nice picture mate, I have done a rough paint job to see what blue rim tape looks like on my bike and I like it. I am going to buy some and do it. When I get home I will post the before/after picture to gauge an oppinion.

Question - Other than flea bay does anyone reccomend any sites to buy from? Is there different thickness you can buy and if so what should I be looking for?

PS - Sorry to hijack the thread.

There you go, a before and after as a mock up. What do you think? Numbers check out the fact I have Arrows on and not CCC's although I have had 2 sets of those as well and they were good.

Looks spot on Tony mate, there is a lighter shade too, sort of whiteish I think looks nice too.

There are different thickness strips too...look at the pics, mine are thinner than Number3's :nod:
