I started my camo vinyl wrap install today. I'm really pleased with the results so far. I was able to get both sides of the bike done. I'll finish the fender, headlight and rear deck tomorrow.

Here are some before pics.




After removing the decals


The vinyl wrap came on a 4' x 5' sheet. It cost $90 with shipping and I spent another $60 in supplies to do the install.

All the pieces were washed and prepped for wrapping.


Laying out the first piece. I found doing the majority of the install with the pieces on the bike easiest. I then would remove the piece and work the edges around the back.


Here's the back side of the fairing. I used 3M sealer on the seams to glue it down.


Here are the first couple of completed pieces






Here's the other side


More to follow...

 

I like it and looks good so far.

 

I like it.

 

Is this reversible? If it was me, I might have looked at picking up another set of plastics to do the wrap on. Maybe some grungy ones that you could pick up cheap, since you're wrapping them anyway...

 

The wrap is removable. You can just pull it off, no damage to the plastics.

 

That looks really good. For those of us who have never used a wrap - can you give us the Readers Digest version of the process?

 

Interesting, if it works well and doesn't peel off in the rain and wind, it opens up a lot of possibilities for people who like alternate color schemes and designs.
I don't know about the camo scheme though, I like to be more visible on a bike, not better hidden.

 

Geeez, you're gonna frighten "Moonbeam" followers there in Sacramento with the camo, rifle and general appearance of a outdoors sportsman. You might want to check and see if the lords of the ivory tower there in Sac. haven't passed some kind of law against this. Surely if not, there has to be a tax on it!
Looks great. I like the results so far!
p.s. Hey Brian, after you get this all "gussied up" with camo & weaponry you're not gonna go back to that road that crazy broad chased you on now are ya? ha ha

 

Love it!

Maybe add flat black "Kawasaki" and "KLX250S" cut vinyl logos.

The wrap should last 5+ years. I have one on my trailer and it has lasted over 8 years being parked outside. I figure with my garaged bike it should last at least as long.

I get the point about visibility. But keep in mind only a small portion of the bike is wrapped. Obviously the red would be more visible, but I'm not going to blend into the scenery anymore then say a black bike.

And I have replacement Kawasaki decals to put on when it's done.

I did the headlight and tail last night. Going to work on the fender now before the game. We'll see how far I get. Hopefully I can get it done by tonight.
