Put vinyl in your bolt holes first then wrap over top, this will seal it so you don’t end up bits working itself off. With the tank work from the centre outwards, you have a second person to help so you can hold the vinyl off and heat until it pulls itself smooth and then pull down over the tank, do this slowly working around the tank and you should be golden 👍
I assume you mean putting small bits of vinyl on the underside of the fairings where the bolts holes are, then be wrapped over top sealing the two vinyl wraps together to themselves? Allowing the undercarriage wrap pieces to help hold the top from fraying/ pulling up? Sorry, confused on your exact phrasing
That was impressive work there. I’ve only wrapped the back of the tailgate on my old car and used knifeless tape to get a good line, but watching this gave me some confidence to try it on my bike’s tank now. If you didn’t say that was a wrap, I never would’ve guessed!
@ChaosCauses: this was a very well made video! Your explanation of your process as well as your honesty about never wrapping before made the video an A+ for me! Great job on the bike buddy. Much love from Albuquerque, New Mexico!!!!! 🏍🏍🏍👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏍🏍🏍
pro tip for the tape, if you are doing a stripe you can lay down one line of tape on both sides of the stripe you want to do and then do the side and top vinyl at the same time, peel up the tape and your joins will be really flush, did that on my bike and it came out great. Nice work!
How has it worked in the long term? I want racing stripes but I'm worried that it won't last as long as 1 piece, with the stripes having edges and all.
They really are beautiful bike,s I'm loving mine more and more every time I work on it! The '98 model in red and white is my favorite color scheme too and is what I'm trying to replicate to some extent.
Fantastic result! It takes so much patience to wrap a bike, it's not for me. I've tried my hands on a few small parts and quicky realised I wouldn't do big ones.
i tryed to wrap the tank of my FZS1000..looks pretty similar to that one...and failed misarably....you did pretty good with that tank!! greetings from germany
You can also use the soap and water technique when adding the vinyl I did that to my bike about 3 years ago and it’s still like new and it helped out a lot!
You should give it a try, I've also wanted to learn for a while. It's not as easy as I thought it would be but after a few mess ups you can get the hang of it and make a decent job!
This is awesome. That scheme really suits the R1and you did a fantastic job. Honestly I've never wrapped a bike - I re-sprayed my Yammy FZR250 when I did it up, I wanted flake in the paint now you can get wrap like that I think. I wrapped some dashboard bits in my car well over 7 years ago and they still look great, wrapped a few bits now and then, some experience but I am no pro. This might inspire me to wrap my mrs motorbike - Suzuki GZ cruiser which will be easier - no fairings. Patience and time = best advice for wrapping. Some heat too - not too much though it can burn/stretch.
Thanks dude I think it looks great in these colors! I’m thinking about spraying the next bike so I need to learn that next. If you have experience or small bits the Mrs bike should be too difficult and I definitely think you should give it a try it’s rewarding when finished lol!
Hey man, i think the bike looks really good with the wrapping on, i've been trying to figure out if i want to wrap or paint my fairings, (i've got the 2001 r1 model), after seing this i think i'm going to try to wrap it like you did. Would you mind sharing some more info on the wrapping foil ? Would help me a bunch.
That's an awesome decision bro it's a great way to make older bikes look brand new again! The best vinyl option is the Avery Dennison or the 3M 1080 series. I personally found the Avery easier to work with and it is a lot cheaper. The only areas that it struggles is in tight spaces so I would suggest getting the adhesive glue for the wrap too. If there's anything else yo would like to know I'll happily answer your questions!
I've wrapped the side panels and front fender of my XF once, but it looked like shit because it was some kind of cheap wrap. Being a cheap bike, I removed the wrap and spray painted it, and the result was 1000x better :') But yeah, practise makes perfect The R1 looks sick!
Cheap wrap makes the job a lot more difficult and spray paint works out better than I expect 90% of the time! But thanks dude it’s looking a lot better!
Wow looking so much better dude your right by the end of the hole process you did get much much better at wrapping 👏👏 the R1 is going to look 💯times better than before!!! And you are getting the rims powder coated they will look 🔥bro what colour? Or would you rather not say at this point.either way this bikes going to look great once finished well done my brother 👌Adam 🇬🇧
Thanks Adam glad you’re liking the colour scheme! Looks tons better and the wheels look awesome but I’d rather only show them next video lol but I will tell you it’s nothing extreme!
Chaos Causes that's cool 😎 bro I understand 👍🏻 get posting then dude cannot wait to see the finished bike 🤗......oh what's your name so I know for future reference
Hey mate, in a bit of a dilemma and would appreciate your thoughts. I'm thinking of wrapping my bike but there's decals on it already. They arent clear coated and do cover the whole panels (so wouldn't cause ridges in the vinyl if I went right over the decals). The only thing is, I'm unure as to whether I can eventually peel off the vinyl without pulling off the decals with it (I'd like to keep them underneath). It's 3M vinyl if that matters. If you have time to respond I would appreciate it. Thank you as always for the content.
How long did the wrap job last until edges or ends decided to fray/pull away from your paint? Thought about wrapping for years but never pulled the trigger
Great vid 👍 Question.... With the tank you layed out the tape, cut then re taped and layed the next piece. Was there a reason that you didn't lay two pieces over and cut through two bits of white vinyl at the same time? Did you have some vinyl overlap?
Yes it's usually recommended that you overlap by about 5mm. It's impossible to cut them so perfectly that they're at the same level because the cutting tape will mess the join up.
do you think you could have done the tank in one piece if you would have just started on one side and worked your way up and over to the other side? not an expert just curious
You probably could, I watched a guy do it from front to back in one piece but then it was a lot more difficult than I expected lol! The pros know which ways to work the vinyl so that the bunching up is in the right places but that takes a lot of practice.
Thanks bro, from Intamarket in Wynburg. A great company with really helpful guys that are eager to help you out even if you have zero experience like I did. There is also a company called Maizeys that do similar products but I had terrible service and won't go back!
9:02 - you didn't quite get the knifeless tape joint right - one layer of vinyl is riding over the other, or did you leave the residual green tape underneath?
That's the point, the tapes instructions say overlap the vinyl by at least half a centimeter to prevent lifting but the green tape under it is removed afterwards.
Thanks bro I feel the same😂 it’s always intrigued me so I had to try it out and I have to say I’m not sure I’d want to do my own personal bike in a wrap but it’s awesome on the R1 lol!
Chaos Causes to be Honest mate I bet it’s pretty durable BUT knowing me I would Drop something on it and rip it But then again I could also scrape the paint ... 😂😂🍺🍺👍👊
It depends on the vinyl brand and colours but for 3M 1080 series vinyl you can get basic colours for around R400 a metre and you need about 5 metres to wrap a bike. I got 7 meteres to be sure and it added up to roughly R4000. Keep in mind if you get a shop to do the wrapping they will also charge a lot for labour.
#ISawItFirst, that looked like one hell of a process and almost took as long as bleeding my brakes and adjusting suspension 😂. Makes me want to wrap stuff now...
Don't waste your time with Maizeys they're rude incompetent people! Go to Intamarket. They're the most helpful people I've ever met and have everything you could ever want!

Hahah comment of the year! Next Christmas I'm going to be the ultimate wrapper lol
Guy did a damn good job for his first time wrapping, I'm impressed.

Allowing the undercarriage wrap pieces to help hold the top from fraying/ pulling up? Sorry, confused on your exact phrasing
Not a professional (w)rapper but following his (w)rap dreams.
"Well guy this is a wrap for this video" 😂😂
Lol glad someone caught it!
@@ChaosCauses i'm curious, how will wrapping the bike affect the registry? Do you also need to update it?
That was impressive work there. I’ve only wrapped the back of the tailgate on my old car and used knifeless tape to get a good line, but watching this gave me some confidence to try it on my bike’s tank now.
If you didn’t say that was a wrap, I never would’ve guessed!
Thanks man I appreciate it! With enough time spent practicing it isn't impossible, if you've done a tailgate definitely give a bike a try!

Wow brilliant job & has given me thought to do my old TDM850 which I’ve been repairing previously bodged up fairing parts. Thanks for the video
Thanks dude you should definitely consider it!

You can cover it with 1 peice. It just takes time and patience and alot of stretching. Keep practicing man. You'll get it.

Those knifless tape strips are super awesome. Definitely got to get me some of those. Great informative video. Thanks.
Awesome job bro knife less tape is magic
You can also use the soap and water technique when adding the vinyl I did that to my bike about 3 years ago and it’s still like new and it helped out a lot!
How do you do that?
Fantastic video, Chaos. I've been wanting to learn to wrap for awhile now. You make this look easy.
You should give it a try, I've also wanted to learn for a while. It's not as easy as I thought it would be but after a few mess ups you can get the hang of it and make a decent job!
Where did you order your materials? The vinyl and solution?
Where did you order your materials? The vinyl and solution?

I'm based in South Africa so I got it from IntaMarket
Love the content on this vid, showing us all the steps that u did. The finish looks awesome. Good job, man!
Appreciate it! Hopefully it helps some people see what the process involves
Same here... Just wrapped gsr with no experience... Messed up... But for now it's OK...
Looking to wrap my R1. The paint is trashed from a previous owner that rattle canned it. Thanks for the vid

Thanks so much hope you enjoy it!
Very nice vedio
Thanks dude!
Awesome video man! I think next project should be a dual sport the dirt is so much fun

*Chase on two wheels, learn stuffs from here plish xD
Haha thanks so much I'm glad you're enjoying the content!
And we will learn with you...🙏
Mint job mate, nice one!
I could wrap the whole tank with one piece, the way you did it will take off easily
Ur underrated dude.!! Hope you get some credit for it works 💞
Thanks so much dude I really appreciate it!
Wow that R1 looks good. You have inspired me I want to warp my track fairing on my bike. Where did you get the vinyl?
That’s awesome I think wrapping is the best way to go on a track bike it’s easy to replace then! I got mine from Inta Market
nice tehnique
I think my technique is probably strange but it seemed to work!
You're good editer
Thanks so much man I really enjoy it!
Good job!!!! Bravo!
been trying to find the knifeless tape but no luck

That's really looking good now... Show us the finished bike... 😍
Thanks dude all videos involving this bike and it's finished look are here: goo.gl/vvEcyU
Wasup gangsta..sounds like you need to clay bar that paint ...shout out to ya crew
Wow that tape works magic! I really should wrap my bikes, had a bad first attempt a few years ago, should try again
The tape makes it so much easier! Definitely try again the wrap has come a long way!
Great video! That’s a nice job you’ve done there.
I’m definitely going to do my CB1300 . Now to do some searching for Honda colours.

how can i buy the warp washer? didn't find it in the web, what it is made of?
Hey very good job. How does it looks like now ? I would to try with my Honda and replicate the Rothmans colours.... but i'm doubt
To be honest I'm not sure because I sold the bike lol
Even though you used knifeless tape, why, at 9:02, is there a ridge, 5mm into the red?
How long did the wrap job last until edges or ends decided to fray/pull away from your paint? Thought about wrapping for years but never pulled the trigger

how awesome. Maybe i'm too late, but how much did you pay to wrap it (material)
It’s around 300 US Dollars
Chaos Causes Okey. Thank you! Looks amazing btw.
how is the wrap holding up?
It’s not bad a bit fragile
Looking good bro... can you tell us where did you get all the wrap and products from?

Hey man,
where did you buy the fairing repair kit?
I got mine from Auto Zone but I've seen it in hardware stores as well!
Thx mate. I have a 20 year old Yamaha DT project bike, looking into options to repair the fairings, finding replacement parts here in SA is a pain :(
@@ChaosCauses is it just called a fairing repair kit or does it have a different name?
I have a question I wanna dothis on my after market plastic tank but people told me the vapor will make it bubble has that happened to you?
No not at all. If it's put down correctly it's very durable stuff and isn't effected by much.
How much did the wrap cost?
9:02 - you didn't quite get the knifeless tape joint right - one layer of vinyl is riding over the other, or did you leave the residual green tape underneath?
That's the point, the tapes instructions say overlap the vinyl by at least half a centimeter to prevent lifting but the green tape under it is removed afterwards.
That wrap is a weird thing , I like it But at the same time I don’t 🤔😂. But a Lot cheaper than a spray job ! 👍. Good job though! 👍👍🍺🍺👊
Thanks bro I feel the same😂 it’s always intrigued me so I had to try it out and I have to say I’m not sure I’d want to do my own personal bike in a wrap but it’s awesome on the R1 lol!
Chaos Causes to be Honest mate I bet it’s pretty durable BUT knowing me I would Drop something on it and rip it But then again I could also scrape the paint ... 😂😂🍺🍺👍👊
I scratched the first tank attempt with a paddock stand lol so I get you!
Chaos Causes ☹️😂👍👍🍺🍺👊
FatBoy740 if you own a compresor spraying is super cheap. If you have a discount tool supplyer, a good compeesor worth its weight in gold
I heard after the wrap is done it needs to be heated to a 100 Celsius for some time to erase the memory so it won't out in the weather?
Is this true?
Wrap again and use pink wrap ❤️🚩
lol then give it to my girlfriend?
Yuck 🤮!
Good video man.
Can you help me and tell me where you got the wrap and those 3m tape please.
Thanks
Thanks dude I got it all from IntaMarket in Wynburg!
Chaos Causes Thanks man. Keep up the good work.
Hey dude, can u let me know when did u purchase ur bike
Approximately how much does it cost to buy wrap for a motorcycle here in SA?
It depends on the vinyl brand and colours but for 3M 1080 series vinyl you can get basic colours for around R400 a metre and you need about 5 metres to wrap a bike. I got 7 meteres to be sure and it added up to roughly R4000. Keep in mind if you get a shop to do the wrapping they will also charge a lot for labour.
Nor bad
#ISawItFirst, that looked like one hell of a process and almost took as long as bleeding my brakes and adjusting suspension 😂. Makes me want to wrap stuff now...
Haha gonna ruin all my secrets in your video! You saw how much vinyl I have, come and wrap your bike. It's the perfect colours!
where did you buy the wrap and wrap prep?
Inta market
did wraping damage original paint oor not ?
No wrap won't damage paint but his paint was terrible to begin with.
Where did you buy your wrap and other items from?
Dude who did you buy the vinyl from? I've been looking for an online shop, but it looks like I'll have to take a road trip to Maizeys
Don't waste your time with Maizeys they're rude incompetent people! Go to Intamarket. They're the most helpful people I've ever met and have everything you could ever want!
Thanx bud. I may have to invite you for coffee if I screw it up 😁
I’ll be there!
