all the blacked out stuff is plastic wrap , it is heated and applied , looks like paint , but it can be heated and removed again , the only thing is you do ge a slight seem , so its applications are limited to parts where this doesn't matter or like the shocks , it can be hidden at the back , its a very good colour match to the frame paint on my FB , it comes in loads of colours and finishes including matt and textured like carbon fibre

id like to see that too , but my budget will not stretch that far at the moment , i haven't got a work shop where i can start pulling the bike apart , and the labour charge would run into quit a few hours

the head light bucket is on the cards soon and maybe a section of wrap between the trees ...they should both be fairly cheap and i can pull the light off , and run it down the powder coaters myself ....

thanks for the feed back guys

i think its called M3 wrap , its the kind of stuff that they use on race cars adverts , its a sheet of sticky back plastic , there are 2 types , one for large flat areas that doesn't need heating , just a big sticker
and a better quality one that is plyable when heated , it cools down and stays in the shape of what it is applied to , it can also be printed on
i had a sign maker do mine , he does cars & vans as well as banners etc , he has done bike fairings in Matt black and carbon look , but this was his first go on fiddly bits of chrome , it worked out well , I'm pleased because i can return the bike to stock chrome if i want to , where , if it were powder coated , thats it .....

have a look at this , its the same stuff
