Howesnet Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi all. Unfortunaltely, i dont have time to go through 30+ pages of posts so my sincere apologies if this has been asked. I am from London UK and would like to find out if anyone has had, or know where i can get, vinyl wrapping for my Gen 7. I found the attached picture online and it just looks too sexy to not follow up on. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Skids Posted November 20, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 20, 2016 Howesnet - that's an interesting screen combination on what I presume is your own white 1200??? Care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howesnet Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thanks Swede. Much appreciated. Thinking of doing mine in the white carbon. Skids - When i bought the bike it already had the Givi touring screen and the extender on it. The guy in the bike shop said that the previous owner put it on for better wind deflection. Ive been on a couple of long rides (2+hrs at 90mph+) and the Givi works perfectly. Haven't bothered to take the extender off because i just like the look. It's different, and, like you just pointed ou, a talking point lol. Thanks for the interest guys BTW, Skids, yr Titanium looks superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that carbon-effect though. You say they do it in white? I imagine that would look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC36 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I've got a friend in London who's done this professionally for years. He's exceptional at it. You HAVE to accept that the tank may require some 'joins' rather than have the whole piece(s) of it wrapped, it'll be near invisible though. Want me to get you in touch? It'll be about £500 with materials and his time but I can promise it'll be high grade wrap (3M at a minimum) and will be done to a standard unachievable at the cheaper places around the city.

I'm 5'9" dripping wet but the screen is at quite a steep angle so should make some difference. I must admit, i looked at the PUIG screen the other day and i'm most tempted lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately i must decline. Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat etc etc but with 3 kids to buy for, the goose isnt getting quite as fat as i'd like. I'll bear your offer in mind and maybe consider a project for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
