Guys, I got something of a project on my hands. This is the front fairings of the bike
I am gonna be wrapping the bike and I've never wrapped anything before this is gonna be my first time trying to wrap anything
I'm gonna be wrapping the bike, all these parts of it. So the front fairing the front cowl and
Hopefully things go well
I'm honestly a little bit nervous because I've never wrapped anything and I know it's gonna be pretty tough
It might take me a while. But this is gonna be kind of like a weekend project
Hopefully I can get something done and make it look pretty cool. I'll show you the color I got
There gold, okay here it is beside my helmet
And here's the gold. It's like matches pretty well. I'm surprised
So I got the right gold here. I got this from from eBay.
I think I was about one hundred
seven bucks USD I'm gonna give this a try
Wish me luck
All right. So first step here is I have to remove this little
It's just a sticker here. I'm trying to get the placement of it
see how it kind of lines up with the rest of the fairing and
More or less match it once I put everything back together. This right fairing is prepped. Just gotta take the sticker off
I got the heat gun here got my phone charging and I got this little tool here to help shape the
Vinyl hopefully things go. Well, I can look in here. There's a lot of flat areas
there's also a lot of
Dips here and like even here
Can't miss those. I can easily separate them if I want like use this as a spot to just kind of start over again
But I'll try it in one piece and see how that goes
Okay, so I've been doing this for a few hours, maybe like four to five hours. I finally got it done
So this part is wrapped. It's the right faring
Get a little bit closer on it. It's not perfect. But
pretty good and
yeah, so it's it's
Almost 5:00 a.m
And I need to sleep and then
wake up tomorrow and
Do the next one? Oh man. All right. It's officially 5:00 a.m. And I was just about to go to sleep
Realize that the sun's coming up
It's actually getting bright outside
All right, so it is day two and I just did half of the front cowl
Looking pretty good. This one is much easier. There's a lot more flat parts less
jagged curves and everything so it's
Looking pretty good.
I'm gonna do the left side now
All right guys it is
The night of day 2. It is, what times now? It's 11:30. I started today at about
10:30 and it's been about
13 hours
But here it is
This is just the
obviously the fairings I also did the seat area and
The only thing left to do now is the gas tank, but I think it's looking
Alright, I mean, it's pretty good for my first wrap job. It's probably honestly to me. It's probably a 6 out of 10
Could've done better. But yeah, so stoked to put it back in the bike
matches the helmet
I just threw this on because I was gonna do something but decided not to use it
Okay, so I'm gonna throw it back on the bike and maybe get on the gas tank in a bit
Alright, I'm finally in home stretch and this is the tank this is the only thing that's left now and I got this
Knifeless tape I'm gonna line it and maybe get it around here
And then the other side as well
maybe put in three pieces because from what I understand it's difficult to work with chrome and
Especially if you stretch it, it loses its I think mirror-like appearance like it's not going to be reflective anymore
It's gonna look dull and that's what I'm worried about. So I'm gonna apply this and
Hopefully turns out okay, it'll be in multiple pieces. So it might be a little bit easier
Hopefully I can get it down. Right and I think this is going to be here no matter what
It's a little bit embossed. You might see a little bit but hopefully it's okay. So let's go so I just finished lining it
so here it is and the other side as well, so
I'm ready to go. I'm gonna start the sides first and I'm gonna do the topless
I'm going to right left or left right and then I'm going to the top to finish it all off
First side is done. This is the right side of the tank
And so I just did this and if there's a there's a knifeless tape underneath here
So this part was the most difficult because you have the bend, you see all the crinkles
But that's all going to be cut off
Because I put the wire in the right here just a little bit below all the crinkles start
And it's all going to end right here.

So I just did the knifeless tape, I just pulled it off here and so this is the edge. Very nice
Works really amazingly and
And only had a little bit of trouble here with the corners, but it still turned out pretty well
So now I'm going to rip off the other side. Same thing. Same effect should happen here
Okay, so other side is done now too. It's pretty sweet
And it's like such a good cut too - it looks pretty cool like this actually.
That is awesome
Looks pretty cool. I don't know, though the rest of the bike isn't like this
I probably can't leave it like this. Still looks pretty good though. This is a pretty quick job. Right now it's
7:05 p.m. I think I started around
5:30 or 6:00. It's going much faster when I separate into different pieces rather than like one whole piece
[Music]
It's now 8:37 PM
Take me a couple more hours. But I've done most of the tank I've decided to do in four parts
So I do here one on the right, one left, then one in the middle
Kind of back middle then the front middle area. Because this dip here is gonna make it really difficult for it to go kind
Of flat again afterwards. I figured I'll just do four parts
Hopefully I just get this done within the next hour or so and show you the final product
[Music]
I just did all the work here. I just cleaned it all up. I even cut out the little the gas tank cover and
Yeah, that's it
Not much just say here. It's gonna look so sweet on the bike
So yeah just edges. These are not gonna be seen. It's gonna be like right here where it gets covered up.
Let's throw it on the bike and see how it looks
