I like it
That looks great!
That’s tough
Nice choice of color. :2thumbs: looks great with more color..:clap:
Looks very nice to me also. :firstplace:
:coffee: YES, BLUE is very cool.....:thumbup:
I like that alot! Any idea how much a paint job like that would run?
I wonder also what cost to wrap? cueman
That is pretty.
Yes, that is better than the flat black IMO
Man, that really stands out. I may have to look into that for mine.
Thanks,
For paint, if you took all the pieces off the bike and took it to a local body shop using quality paint, I’d say around $1k. To wrap it doing the same deal this really depends as it depends where you go. It’s a lot of pieces and some of these are a pain to do and time consuming. My guess around $800-$1600. I’m currently doing my bike and have finished it all just gotta put it back together. Cost $100 to do it myself.Quote:

The wrap material by itself (good quality) is quite high in $.
If you only wrap a few pieces, then is worth it.
Yeah I have someone in mind for a wrap, but I can't think of what I would do. I keep thinking these look great more simplistic and less color. More murdered out.Quote:

Honestly... personally I think these trikes are a perfect canvas for a "rat" look... or bobber style.Quote:

I could see myself doing something similar in the future :).
I just need to come up with my own idea first...
Hopefully these pics work. Gotta put everything back on later today and will take some pics. Did my 900 in 3m carbon fiber gloss with red accents and the wife’s 600 im doing in pink.
You mean like the old rat rods?Quote:

I saw an electric car recently that was built out of an old style 50’s chassis w/ “rust” paint applied generously & classic leather bench seats... not gonna lie- I’d take it over a top of the line Tesla any day! =)
Edit: found a link!

I like it.
Initially I liked it. Looking at it again? Black fenders don't look right. Paint those blue think it would pop!
Yep, something like that :) - I love that rat :).Quote:

Finally finished it!
Soooo awesome. Love the carbon fiber! Was it tough to wrap?
That looks awesome!!! Any plans on wrapping the front wheel fenders?
Depends on the piece your wrapping. The hood, rear piece with brp, small piece under the seat, glove box cover, tank cover, and piece under the handle bars are not very hard to do. Fender above tire was tough in spots as rivers hold it so had to do it on the bike. The colored panels arent super hard but more difficult then the easier panels listed above. Now that gas tank cover piece oh my was that a pain lol. Your chasing it all over heating and stretching back and forth back and forth. The good news is wrap is cheap and you can buy small 12”x12” for $3 each! You can use those to do the easier small pieces and get practice. Mess up no biggie cost you $3 and you learn from it.Quote:

Yeah I always liked the Honda Ruckuses people used to rat out. There is one other one I really like but couldn't find. This one is really well done as well.Quote:

Some successful examples of individual designs:
i have a friend that owns a hydro-dip and cerakote shop, i have been working with him to do some custom cerakote on the panels. i will post some pics when it is finished.
I used Plasti Dip, cost was about $30. And I still have enough to do more panels, just waiting to decide if I want to.
working on ours right now.
McRuss, what top trunk is that?
Looks awesome man
Is Cerakote flexible at all? I can see that possibly being a concern on the body panels.Quote:
