The bike is wrapped and its been a complete bastard , having been involved all the way through the wrap process i can tell you i wouldnt want to do it again in a hurry , its a right pain in the arse its so easy to over stretch then its fooked and has to come off and its a very long and slow process to be ruined right near the end ,
graphics have started to go on and ive been in touch with brooky to sort replacments and scale up some decals as some are not the correct size so will be replaced , but im fairly happy with the result so far
pics are a bit poor as i took them on me phone but you get an idea where its heading ...

had a major nightmare with the numboards today and had to walk away before i started throwing things , i cut the rear boards out of 7 year vinyl but couldnt get them to sit without creasing , and you have the problem of the wrapping lifting if you tug the vinyl back up to smooth out the bubbles/creases, bottom line they just wont sit right over the curves of the seat unit so im gunna have to make another attempt but this time i will use gloss black hexis wrapping, its much softer and with gentle heat should go down much better than the 7 year vinyl which is just to stiff and not very forgiving,
however i did manage to get some other bits done , brakes bled , new keyless cap fitted and i sealed the all the wrapping (the wrapping has a glue type sealer along all the hidden inside edges to stop the elements getting in and lifting the wrap)
attemp no2 tomoz

sorry ricky the tank was vinyl wrapped , i know you are after seed stuff and i did actually think of you before wrapping it , but honestly the paint was far from perfect, its had some chips in it that had been filled with p38 or something and the laquer had been rubbed back in most places, it was far from perfect when i picked it up a few years ago and would of needed stripping and a total respray to be honest, otherwise if it was in good nik i would of messaged you about a swap,
