2013 F6B Deluxe Blackout

[yellowskeeter1]

My bad guys on the slow response, I’ve been traveling a bunch for work and my daughter travels a bunch for softball. As for the windshield, I goofed on that one; I was working with multiple companies before I decided on one and misspoke. It’s the 17” smoke shield from BaggerShield.

Here’s the deal with the vinyl wrap. On vehicles with lots of compound curves, I would recommend an installer that has lots of experience. I would look at some of his prior work as well. A good installer can wrap just about anything. He actually did most of my stuff still attached (i.e fenders, front fairings and bags.) You can go on youtube and search vinyl motorcycle wrapping to see how guys stretch, heat and shrink over compound curves. The stuff is actually pretty amazing.

As far a cutting on the vehicle, my installer used cutting tape that’s very narrow and applied at an edge so that the vinyl can be cut without cutting on the surface. One the cut is made, the tape is pulled from underneath and the wrap is continued to the edge. The total cost for this was around $500. Cheap considering paint is much more expensive. Plus, since it’s kept inside the life span on the vinyl isn’t an issue. And if I get tired of it, I just peel it off.

Where are you located? what shop did you use?
Thanks

Now for the burning question, is it available in red?

I like the look, but the durability is of some concern. Seeing how it peels right off is a little worrysome. I wouldn't want to be dropping money on it every year. Id first check out other wraps and talk to the owners of them and see if they had any issues first before I jump.

I've had several PM's regarding who did the work on my F6B. I live in North East Florida and my buddy owns http://clearbraofjax.com/.

He does really great work. I also read some were questioning the durability. I have two responses:

1) Vinyl wrapping has been around for years. Advertising companies were doing wraps way before it became economical, durable long term and before it was "cool". In fact, I see many cars completely wrapped and as long as you care for it, it lasts a long time.

2) Anything is better that that crap they call an OEM finish...

And for those the still doubt it's ability to look high end, be durable and fit on a complex surface need to look no further than this right here....

How long does it take for them to complete the bike? Just in case I ride down for the weekend.
