i have a all black 08 r6. black wheels, decals removed and gold forks. ordered some red wheel tape but then i saw my yellow shock and dont know if i want a little red, a little yellow and a little gold. too many colors. so now im thinking of getting yellow wheel tape but have never seen a picture of an all black with yellow tape. if you know of one will you put it on here. also if you want to leave an opinion, good or bad, feel free. im usually not a fan of the bright colors

If you have the time and money, just remove the shock and get it powder coated, that's what I plan to do with mine.

Or if you have $3 get some stripes off ebay and if you don't like them just peel them off.

iI have the same bike and I'm going the black wheel with gold rim tape, should turn out good. If you'd prefer the black and red look just pick up some black forks, that always looks good too.

NM, have to get the whole shock absorber if you want a new spring, almost $600.

i thought about the gold wheel tape too but didnt think it would look good. id be interested to see the pics if you do and i dont think i would powdercoat my forks. i like the gold forks. if i didnt spend all my money on the bike i would probably get the 09 gold wheels but i dont have the money so ill just have to get my cheap wheel tape:(
