White gives it a classic look.....

OZChris · 07-19-2009, 01:33 AM

Blue's out too

how do you get it to look so nice at the end? My stripes were an easy install but i can't get the end very nice.

I use some heat to shrink/stretch the vinyl to get to 'wrap' onto the fender.

Silver it is (at least for now

)

I was thinking of doing silver or some sort of reflective vinyl on my blurple M50. Kudos on the silver.

I was actually thinking about getting some carbon fiber vinyl sheeting and doing a stripe out of that, as well as doing a bit more trim work with the rest. I think that'd be awesome.

I think if you slim that stripe down and increase the diameter of the end stripes and the gap just a touch...done in charcoal...that would be absolutely amaizing. As is the bike really is quite stunning.

Thanks for all the great comments.

The beauty of vinyl is that it makes it real easy to change

I have made a 'chrome' version too, but unfortunately it shows scuff marks and looks old real quick - sort of like real chrome

you need to do more riding and less color changing

just curious, you got a good deal from someone or do you work with at a place that has all the vinyl?

Yeah I know - my problem is that I like to tinker and I cannot afford any performance mods

Just lucky to have access to a cutter and the vinyl is easy to get by the metre (literally 100s of colours / types / patterns / etc).
