    After buying the rear underslung Brembo caliper, I'm in need of a longer rear braided brake line now. Will be giving our friends at Bikersdiscountstore a shout today.. thought it was an opportunity to perhaps add a little colour to the Carbon beast.. What do you think, chavy or not? Thinking a little rim tape to go with some new colour brake lines..

    rim tape an after thought.. but the brake lines I think should look ok?

    Rim tape but think a pin stripe to tie in on the fairings would look better than the brake levers and lines

    Leaning towards keeping the lines carbon more I think about it, thanks for your comments guys.. They are Goodridge Carbon now, but obviously need a longer one for the new rear caliper.

    Martin, Its Brembo's on it.. so the hint of Red / yellow was just the brake lines coming off the MC :)

    I would steer clear of the rim tape.
