I can wrap your bike turn around time is about 5 days but that includes gettiing the vinyl custom made. I can have anything you can think of made as well

PM sent as well

Let me know :wink:

Thanks guys... Yeah, I had Dave hit it a couple of years back and the paint turned out pristine (until I crashed it!).

Any opinions on wrap vs paint or vice versa?

Two things to keep in mind.

#1 Quality paint jobs will last longer then your bodywork
#2 If you are in the front there will be less chips to be had :)

Wraps are bad ass most of the time though.

Not sure if you have ever spoken to Pete Fitzgerald (SP), but the guy is a pure artist with paint, Does some of the greatest paintwork I have ever seen, has a shit ton of albums, of cars, trucks, bikes, helmets, ferraris, and all sorts that he has painnted and they are absolutely stunning. I know he does quite a few club bikes as well.

He does it for a great price as well... i took my streetbike fairings bimonthly from gravel outs in the canyons for the past few years and the dude is fast and an awesome person in general.

Runs Fitz Graphics up near Westminster...check him out you won't be disappointed!

It might be a bit of a drive to drop em off, but call Gary at 307-256-7599. He will give you a good price and does a great job of fixing any rash on your bodywork. He sponsors me and has done lots of good work for me.

I might even be able to meet you somewhere and pick up your bodywork for you when I'm down that way.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that I decided to have Unink Printworks wrap the bike. For what they charge I don't think you'll find a better deal.

So, if you aren't looking to spend an arm and a leg on pristine paint that will just get scuffed, PM Grubbs for additional info and/or pricing...

Here are a couple of pics:

And here is one with the pit bike as well... :lol:

PS... I originally wanted a Joan Lascorz replica, but Grubbs worked with me to come up with the slightly more original design. The green would have been too much color. Bottom line, if you aren't creative (like me) Unink can help you out... :wink:

$250-$350 for the material

If I install I charge for that as well
