I love a two tone with a cream color for a vintage look. Red/silver is nice also.

Looks good. Was thinking of a flag printed/done in vinyl over one of the bags but really wonder how long the vinyl will last.


Are you using some form of filament tape to 'cut' the vinyl for your edge lines?

Looks good.
We do vinyl wraps on our boon-docking sleds (snowmobiles) and they hold up pretty well considering all the tree and brushing bashing we put them through.

That looks nice. I was wondering how this would work on new unpainted 6x9 speaker lids?

Not sure yet, been trying different layouts with pinstripe. I think the current layout will be too much white

Good quality vinyl should last quite a while. I am using knifeless tape for my lines.

And today I finished the tank and front fender before I ran out of vinyl.


Pulled the front fender and I ended up doing it in two pieces as I was running out of vinyl. I hid the seam behind the fork leg


Made a pattern to keep it somewhat symmetrical



And back together



I need to get it outside for the full effect plus order more vinyl to match the left side bag pattern and layout the fairing.

That is a pretty sweet outcome. Totally changed appearance. Looking forward to faring and finished product. You may have a business there.

Couple outside shots, ignore the non-matching bags.
