I have some high performance, cast 3M Matte black (180-c) coming in next week...which I planned on using, but couldn't wait so I made them out of 3M "Di-Noc" instead (the same stuff that another member here wrapped the majority of his 1125R in!) What do ya's think?   | ||

Couple more shots.   | ||

Looks good! | ||

I like that. How easy is it to work with. And where did ya get it? | ||
| Buellsruell |
Thanks. I make decals/signs/truck lettering "part time". The material is fairly easy to work with...but it does take a lot of patience due to the curvature of the parts it's being applied to. HEAT is your friend with this vinyl! You can see more info about the vinyl here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=220626519494&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME %3AL%3AEOISSA%3AUS%3A1123 I suppose if there was enough interest in these here that I would look into getting a sponsorship here...??

I've been thinking about stripes just like that, but just white for my red plastics or red for my white plastics. How much are we talking about? | ||

How are those bar end mirrors and their name? Please - EZ | ||
| Westmoorenerd |
I like 'em! | ||
| Buellsruell |
EZ: They are CRG "Arrow" mirrors. I like them a lot...but I guess I should, for the price ($75 each). Had the typical round ones on the Blast and then the XB9SX...thought this shape complimented the CR's lines better though. | ||

New pic.  | ||
| Ezblast |
Yes they do, but then I have to go to conventional signals, still that could be worth it, I ran the 2" CRGs on my fast Blast on top of the Kellerman bar-end signals on 12" bar Profi clip-ons. Very durable mirrors - survived many drops - are those durable? I've been thinking my new Traction grips and bar end weights till now - lol EZ | ||

By the way - nice bike! EZ | ||

I usually despise carbon fiber, but that looks really good! +1 | ||

Great stuff this, love the stripes, it was me who wrapped the 'R' (Message edited by avalaugh on October 04, 2010) | ||

Proof that carbon fiber is a P**** magnet  | ||

I am not a fan of faux CF (or anything faux really) but those stripes look awesome. Too bad the bulbous nose of my r is not a candidate...on the CR they look perfect. | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
Do you have the head light removed or custom lights? Or is it just the angle of the camera that makes it look like you don't have a light? | ||
| Buellsruell |
Head light is there. Must just be the high angle of the pics... | ||

I would be in for 2 sets of just the airbox and tail section...have 2 Rs | ||

I might have to hire you to do my bikes. I did up my XB a while back, and it looks great from 50' away, but like ass up close due to all the wrinkles and bubbles and such.  | ||

They make it so easy to wrap stuff. I've found (by trial and error) the best way to wrap a concave surface is to stretch the wrap relatively tight over the concave curve, hit it with a heat gun and stretch the vinyl into position. Makes the carbon fibre wrap look even more real.... | ||

haha froggy its the new NWU bike! Looks great! | ||
| Froggy |
Yep, I used a heat gun (not blow dryer). I just fail at the simple things in life. |
