I’m glad I decided to watch a video before wrapping my bike. In my mind I was planning on sanding down the fairings I wanted to wrap 😭

Great job for beginners. ✅PRO TIP: pieces were you used heat should be post heated afterwards. This means heating the warped pieces to about 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). The perfect tempurature differs from brand to brand so be sure to check a technical sheet to know the sweet spot. You can check the tempurature with a laser meter but a simple way to know if its heated sufficiently is to keep heating and applying pressure until you see the underlying glue pattern. This will mean you effectively break the memory function and fully break the glue lines that the vinyl has. For Avery this is a honey comb pattern, for 3M its a normal checkerdboard pattern.

I've watched dozens of videos about wrapping, and yours is by far my favorite. Thank you for making this

"average biker who wants to change the appearance of their bike for a reasonable cost". That's literally why I always wrap my bike instead of paint it 🤣

You did a great job explaining this, and made it approachable to so many. Now we are all going to be in our garage just thinking about possible design choices.

Thank you so much. About to rewrap from flourecent yellow to a chrome holographic and I wish I would have known the front mud guard trick the 1st time. But knowledge is power and now I know!! Tyvm 😊

Surface Preparation always needed. Thanks to you Bro, from Malaysia. 👍🏽

Damn, i wanted to learn how to wrap my MT09 trim... and here you are, wrapping an MT09. Legend, thanks for the information!

i‘m about to wrap my MT09, this comes in very handy🙏🏻🙌🏻

A solid how to video on vinyl wrapping. Big like!

Thank you for the lesson and that Cutting tape is Awesome 👍👍

Thank you for this video. I'll wrap my bike and use your video as a guide.

Thanks for the tutorial. Thanks for showing how the cutting tape is used, which nobody else seems to show. I appreciate the information for wrapping smaller items or sections of a vehicle. I would probably never attempt a full vehicle wrap or even a hood, but wrapping is an excellent option for small feature pieces. I had two color painted pillars on my SUV that separate between glossy black tinted window panels. Wrapping the pillars in a gloss black vinyl looks very similar to the glass and gives the vehicle a "floating roof effect", now that the glass looks like it wraps around the back of the vehicle. I also had gloss black painted pillars between the glass of the front and back doors and on the driver side there was a small dent/dimple, which was very shallow, but just enough to catch the light to accent the dent. Filling the dent with spot putty was adequate to fill the dimple and wrapping over it made the dimple completely disappear without having to do bodywork and paint. The passenger side was also wrapped to match. The possible uses for wrap for vehicles and other items or equipment is only limited by the imagination.

Again. Great content. Becoming my favorite channel!

Your content never disappoints thank you

Not a bad job, I've done plenty of wrapping (I'm a signwriter) you could have mentioned "post heating" the vinyl to lock on the shape you're wrapped. Well done :)

Super humbling experience. The fact that I decided to wrap my Ducati is mind blowing, curviest bike known to man it’s so hard to get the insides 😂

That cutting tape is pure magic, thx

The best tutorial ever! Cheers guys!

Already one of my fav channels 💪

great explanation for beginners! I'll do mine soon!

I never really considered doing that to my bike. Now you have me thinking.

Another excellent video ! Just found this and it's awesome. Wife and I installed a thick strip of Red 3M 1080 on my Tacoma hood (for small rock protection) and it's still holding up nicely ! Looking forward to using the 2080 to cover parts of a 2014 Yamaha Vino Classis project. Just something to think about, I've been using the smaller box cutters that use the one-sided sharp razor blades to cut amazingly well. The one-sized blades are much sharper than the utility knife blades, but they don't last as long. You could also just use the 'loose' one sided blades, but these give you something bigger to grip.

So I'm gonna do my first om my moped for giggles. I was thinking 2 colors would be hard but nope you gave me a idea thanks!!

Great content as always 😁 thank you from 🇬🇧

You make it seems so easy!

Great tutorial, this will be very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you. Ive Watched many videos and yours was one of the few that were helpful. Cheers

You did a good job man I'm just starting this but I learned quite a bit from you especially about the cutting cape

Thanks for the video! I'm going to give it a try.

Watching the video was so satisfying 👏🏻👌🏻

Well done, love your channel 🤘🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽

the letter s hearts my ear with your micc

So helpful and awesome video bro. Thanks

thanks mate I learned new tricks from your video 😉

Great Video, very informative as I didn't know about cutting tape.Keep up doing the videos.

Pretty good vid. The only thing I would say differently would be. The part about doing it in pieces. I always try to do whatever i'm wrapping in one piece. Like on the fender, I could maybe see doing the horns separately. But the cool thing about vinyl is when you hit it with heat it will p much do whatever you want. Most of the time just rubbing it with your fingers will do the job. I try to use the heat gun as little as possible, till the end. It's a lot more work, but it looks better and is a lot easier to take care of after the fact. You don't have to worry about the seams too much if you say take it for a wash.

thank you straight to the point

Excellent video, just learning how to wrap transparent to protect my paint ))

Your videography skills are lit.

Gr8 vid, chaos. Ride safe, god bless u.

Cool, I'll try it in the future on my cb300r

This will come in handy. I do wonder if anyone’s wrapped a larger cruiser. Would be interesting to see if anyone has done that. Saved to a watch list for future reference 😊

Great job for beginners

Great and helpful video

Just about to wrap mine, so this comes in handy!

Great video, long live MT09's !!!!!!!!!!!!!

love this idea thanks

Great video bro, going to apply on my adv 350 bike

Great video am going to wrap my motorcycle next month get it ready for the summer 😜

Thanks for the tips. This will be my first wrap job and I’m a little nervous.

Thanks man. I will practice on my bicycle and helmets first

Super helpful👍🏻👍🏻

This was so helpfull thanks🙏🏻🥳

I’m gonna do this very soon. 👍

Just my tips: start with the flatter easier surfaces. Save the tank or curbed surfaces for after you've made good progress. If it's your first time, this will really save time and get you practice before you get to the tank.

Good job! Thnx for the tips

Great video man, keep it up

Customisation 🔥 Love from India 🇮🇳

Quality content !

I learned something good job

i remember walking past your bike in the uk when you were going to falmouth i wish i met you

You definitely could have covered that first piece in one vinyl sheet. Just heat the vinyl up and stretch it way more than you are. By pulling it you can expand it in certain areas, allowing you to put it into concave spots

Excellent tutorial! :)

I think you need to attempt do a one piece wrap in the future. Nice video, as always! Cheers.

Yes bro great content 👌

Thank you for sharing

You are a good man 🤗

Thank you for your lesson you covered it all the way you teach makes it easier for me to understand again thank you (professionally Delivered)/////.....!!!!

Woow really cool

Nice Tips. Thx for uploading :-)

Informative❤

Great video. Is there any reason why you haven't upgraded your current mt09 handlebar to the protaper carmichael as you did previously with your old bike?

Thanks for the video mate. Any chance you can post a video doing the rear mud gaurd? Cheers from SA bro

I probably will never have to practice this but this is interesting

awesome, thanks!

Im getting ready to do mine in 4D carbon fiber.

Well great effort indeed 🌟💯👏 still the professionals doing it better so if it was my bike will take it straight to a garage

Thanks!

It's a good advertisment saying not to do too biggest and hard pieces. I'll see on my bike soon. But I know myself, I surely try to expect my limits.

The rear panel should be able to be wrapped with a single piece of vinyl, learning to stretch/shrink vinyl is tricky though ;-)

The key for wrapping is having some good beats!

thanks man.

THANK YOU SIR

Now I know how I’m customizing my ‘22 FXLRS

Does the vinyl color's fade on long term? Like exposure to different weather?

Thanks. I’m a little confused re the respective applications of vynil and helicopter tape. Is it fair to say that vynil is mainly for aesthetic reasons and micro scratches, while for protection of say (dirtbike) plastics/frames against scuffs, scratches, rubbing of boots etc the answer is helicopter tape? Cheers.

Apply soapy water to the sticky side to enable you to move it around on the surface, then wait for it to dry and do your heating.

Is it okay if we apply clear coat after vinyl? Or it will damage the vinly?

Did i miss you doing the tank? Also can a blow drier be used instead of heat gun

I just have a question. I have a suzuki GSX-R 125 that has many stickers on it. If I put vinyl over the stickers and after a while I want to take it off, it will affect my stickers and the paint.

Why not put two cutting tapes next to eachother? Use one (the furthest from your vinyl you want to keep) for the first cut and the second one, cutting your first piece AND your second. Your seam would be nearly perfect? Or place one and use it when both pieces are applied? I have no experience, but it might be a viable option?

Hi legend, any tips to wraps the windshield on a GSXR

how do you wrap the fairings if they have been damaged? will that show up and or rip the vinyl? should i use like plastex or something and then sand it?

Can you use it over the original stickers and remove the vinyl later, without damaging them?

I looked though your old videos and can't find where to get the boots you usually wear in your videos what brand are they ?

I tried wrapping my top box and failed miserably.🤭 Now I am thinking of adding some of the clear 3m to protect the front paint from rocks and damage. Is the clear easier to put on?
