Hard to tell in pictures, but are the corners wrapped smoothly? Or do they present issues to smooth application of the vinyl?

Wow, that's really making me reconsider getting a black tank. The red tank with the matte black vinyl looks great.

Where did you get your vinyl & how much does it run?

I didn't have a big enough piece to do the entire front fender so there is a seam in the center. as far as the corners, yes they are smooth. It took some getting used to (wrapping the vinyl) but i got it looking awesome!. '


The vinyl is:

i found my 1'x5' piece on amazon for $15.

I am gonna wrap my fender again once i get a bigger piece of vinyl. I am thinking of seriously wrapping my tank too!

I think tank would look great w/the Honda wing badge back on the wrap!

I'm loving all the mods; great work so far. Thumbs Up
Why the hell did you have to post that 3M link? Now you've given me even more stuff to lay awake at night over! Big Grin
Hey, please post a pic of your bike with the wrap AND the aluminum cowl.
Or did I just miss it somewhere? There is no limit on pics. Smile

Just some close up pictures of my vinyl wrapping.
Waiting on the new cowl. The other one got mashed when I layed this bike down.

Thanks a lot man! It's frustrating but surprising the final product came out pretty damn good
