First vinyl wrap attempt

While still looking (and squirreling away $$ from the wife) at a new slip on, I wanted to tone down the giant silver stock exhaust a bit. I was planning on painting the heat shield when I saw a few had wrapped it with vinyl. Figured I’d give it a go and see how it turned out.

Overall, it was a fun process, and I had enough left over to do the front fender. Who knows how long that will last against road debris, but for now, it changes it up a bit. In case anyone is wondering, the vinyl (according to the seller) is 4mil thick. It was pretty forgiving, and with a heat gun, was able to work in without too much drama.

I wrapped my tank and excaust cover in matt black, altough after first ride realized that my boots are rubbing against the excaust cover and vinyl got damaged :/
Planning to wrap the aluminium rear frame at some point.

I'll get in on this too - I just finished up wrapping the subframe on my bike in satin black (with a dash of reflective orange to keep it KTM). I'm impressed with how good the other wraps look, that stuff is not easy to work with. I might try to do the tank to match next, my first attempt failed when the vinyl ripped.

WOW. Totally changes the look of the stock exhaust. I'm digging it. Great job.
