You can use car 'go fast strip' tape from halfords (costs about £4) or you can get the stuff on ebay.

Where's the green option :?:

Failing that I'd go for red.

I'd go for WHITE but a narrower one about 6mm not the 10mm JAY and i have used. Otherwise it will be too much WHITE and in your face if you get my meaning.

Gillies black rearsets,
Yoshimura (jap) tri oval titanium,
Yoshimura crash bungs,
Black exhaust hanger,
Just ordered a K&n air filter and black dubble bubble screen,

Next i'm going to get a black rear sprocket and goldie lookin chain!
I went a bit OTT on the carbon fibre on my R6 (carbon fibre everything!!), so much so that now i just think that it looks a bit tacky (a nice carbon front mudguard would look nice though!!!).

i agree - too much in the wrong place looks shite - but discrete and quality is the way to go!!! 8)
