Time to spend on fuel not bling for you methinks
. . . I do like that 3M stuff though
Looks good Count.Glad I recommended Boss Dog to you. Think I'll pay them a visit now I've seen their work
How can you recommend a company that you've never used?
"I recommend LG 3D televisions, when you buy one let me know if it's any good and I'll get one myself"
Easily.
I know people that have had their whole cars wrapped there, so I've seen their work.

They've been around for eight years and any quick Facebook search shows their work on various vehicles and in magazines.
He was also fine about me being there while he worked and they use decent raw materials. I'd probably find someone cheaper but what they've done looks like it will last for some time. I have some of the 3M wrap on a roll so I may try my own hand at wrapping a few things just to see what I can do.

That's a complex shape but easily removed from the bike so worth a go. I may have a try and see how it works out. You would have to wrap and leave a seam on the inside but that is doable. It's also worth noting that the surface key is important, the black plastics are a matte finish that is not smooth, this means the surface is not offering an easy key for the wrap to adhere to. I'd suspect it would e OK but I'd have to try it.
I considered the front forks but they said as the surface is not smooth but ridged, the wrap would not stick as well. I know TT do a sticker kit for the forks and I wonder how well they work, given a sticker can be a lot thicker and have a different bonding surface, maybe they work fine. I was looking to protect the forks as well but they are as they were for now.

I like it! 
Well done that man.
I was thinking of getting my side panels sprayed but now that I've seen this.

Are you planning protection for the front of the engine? If previous 12's & tractors are any guide this will be the part that deteriorates most rapidly, especially if used fast on gravel etc.

My current plan for the engine is to get a crud catcher and wrap it. It would be a good place to have another carbon highlight on the bike. I'm waiting on engine bars and cylinder guards from TT along with some other bits - they are late on everything it seems.
I'm not looking to get the bike too tarty, this was just a way to protect the panels and make a change at the same time.

I've got some 3M helicopter tape that I'm going to put on my forks. I had the TT stickers on a couple of my old bikes, but the massive writhing on them puts me off now.

Hopefully Twizzel you left it in the local Skip. The bad news is that the local Council will possibly charge you some cash for there sevices. As for the wrap Brill mate you beat me to it. Iv been delaying due to being told about another process think its called Aqua Wrap watched it on You Tube Bloody brill idea. I don't know if you can remove it though. well done its going to spur me on to have a job done.

I think any part vunereable to stone chips and road shite is going to look nasty, very quickly once the salt finds it's way in.
The water based paint used needs wiping with ACF50 just to prevent barnacles growing on it.
On the subject of TT fork stickers, I have seen them & they are very thick & are marketed as "protectors" and are presently marked down from £34 to £22
The aqua wrap seems very thin? I'm not convinced it would provide much protection from scratches... And does it break up when being removed?Hopefully Twizzel you left it in the local Skip.

good price, booked mine in, going to have the front mudguard done as well...thanks for sharing mate
Nothing like a bit of Blue Peter sticky-back plastic (Fablon to the oldies) to 'improve' the looks of one's bike
