Hot rod shop or any performance shop should be able to help you out. Welding exhaust is pretty straight forward wether it's on a bike or a car.

I wrapped my car, it was a real PITA but it turned out pretty good. I used Oracal 970RA vinyl which it supposed to be high quality (made in germany so you know it's good) but if I ever do it again I'll probably give 3M a try. Overall though I think it would have been easier just to paint it.

A bike may be a little easier being much smaller, but it could also be much harder because of all the curves and stuff.

Yeah no doubt, problem is finding someone to do decent work on it. Having someone who's familiar with the bike would make it that much easier even. There's decent exhaust work, and there's ratty ass exhaust work.. I just want to avoid the latter.

Nice seeing you here russian. I like the wrap .... was wondering over on FWMR if it was a wrap or the real deal.... so I would say it looks great.

Looking good!

I personally would have chosen a different color but to each their own.

honestly, it was a toss up between just doing a white wrap and CF. wanted to try the CF first. if i dont like it, the stuff isnt that expensive and easy to remove. then i can do white
