the first time i attempted this with some left over vinyl i had from another project... it didnt go well and i ended up not keeping it.
I think if i try it again (which i want to, it looks hot!) im going to remove the wheel and headlight since that was the spot i had the most problems with.

Measure the vertical lengths of your fork sections, and multiply by the fork circumference (allowing for a few millimeters of overlap). If it were me, I'd order 1.5 times that area. |

Guys I apologize for not putting up a better writeup of the application process. I'll do it as soon as I have a chance (later tonight or tomorrow night probably.) I'll try to answer all of the questions I haven't addressed while I'm at it too. Thanks everybody.  lmao at the seven tail chops hanging on the wall  There're even more hanging up out of the frame on the right.  |

As promised. (Albeit after going out for a few St Patty's Day beers... sorry for the delay.)   Black hard-anodized for comparison...  My two accomplices, Jobu and Pompetta... (thanks for all the help guys! )  And thanks again Dave for letting me tie up space in your garage for what seemed like forever.  I love the wall of tail chops! |

Rameses the forks looks great! Now all you need is to make the silver subframe black and it would look extra mean  As for the Hyper without the bill I think a Super Duke headlight would look pretty damn good. |

Now just vinyl wrap that chain and it will really look good. Unless your chain is that color from being wrapped already.  nice job by the way. KP |

Nice work! Looks great without having to disassemble the forks. Do you think you still be able to slip them out of the lower tripple tree for service?

Not a chance in hell. But you can take off the top triple and drop the fork with the bottom triple still on without removing any vinyl. Bike looks SUPER Rameses!! I think this is the route I will go with my S1000 once I get my new forks. Can't wait to your "how-to" write up. Thanks man. Yeah, sorry everyone for not getting up my detailed walk-through yet. I should have a bunch of free time tomorrow though, so hopefully I can get it done then. |
