Custom Decals-Wraps
« on: August 13, 2015, 09:07:54 PM »
Anyone have any advise on custom decals or wraps for our bikes? Send photos of your C14 or C10 changed!

I was wondering about those vinyl wraps like you see on some cars/trucks, Would be cool to change the color & ad some grafics to the bike .

I think just about any "wrap" sill be able to fix you up.  It's a generic process that is then custom/hand applied.  I did find this photo:

That seems to be photoedited although it is really hard to tell.  If not, the plastic is over the logos and they painted the paniers and tank and nose grey?

Interesting, but I can't say I would ever want to have such graphics on MY Concours!

I agree it's ugly as heck.  But the idea is that YOU can choose whatever they can print.  I'm pretty sure this is an actually wrapped C14.  Yes, the film will cover the logo.  It's really thin and clingy.  It's a lot like the window tinting film just colored instead of dark-tinted.  It will stick to almost anything.

3M seems to have the film marketplace, but this is the second runner up...http://graphics.averydennison.com/en/home/vehicle-wraps/products.html

they are local to me, with 3 manufacturing facilities within 4 miles of my home....
I'll have to stop in there and pic up some product info... also some of their certified installers are very local, might stop a one on my way accross town next week...

Yeah the vinyl vehicle wraps are quite good options. They are long lasting and at the same time you can get them at very affordable prices. I just got the custom full body vinyl wraps from vehicle wraps and they look amazing.

Didn't we have someone that did that in carbon fibre some years back?
