Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #183Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #182 Second hand story here but, one of the riders in the group wanted to personalize his older Fireblade and Triumph, and vinyl wrap companies (good ones by reputation) declined namely down the line that it's much more profitable for them to do cars, they were unsure about vinyl near the heat (engine), and didn't have much experience faffing around with bikes. In the end he had to take off and reinstall the fairings himself but brought them to a paint shop, I've never seen the Fireblade in person but by pictures it was a deep grayish-steel metallic (think MB/BMW), and the Triumph (the 600cc SS Daytona) got the Mazda Soul/Cherry Red and it looks amazing. I love the white/red combo on my '22 but if I even get the urge that Mazda color is something else indeed... There's also an older sportsbike I used to see on the local mountain pass, heavily modified without any markings and custom fairings my guess is Gixxer 1000 or older R6 beneath clad in matt grey akin to new VW/Audi schemes - quite a looker and I would wager it's a repaint rather than vinyl as well.
