Post by: Larry295 on March 03, 2020, 05:19:30 AM

Anybody tried a wrap on the SRF? What was the cost?
Photos would be nice ;)

Thats a laser cut custom sticker for the SR/F.  I've seen the same design on another bike.  You can see some close ups in some of the videos and the quality isn't that good up close.  Does look awesome from a few feet away, though.
I wrapped mine a few days after delivery.  I ordered too much vinyl to be safe and in case I needed to redo anything.  I spent $120 8ft of 3M vinyl and then maybe another couple bucks for surface prep and tools.  Already had a heat gun.  I spent another $50 on another color vinyl to cover the silver parts, but haven't done those yet.  Was starting to think about plastidip for those parts.

looks better with a wrap indeed. I am not a fan of the current available colors.
Keep the photos coming for those who wrapped their SRF.

Nicely done that blue wrap.

Stay away from plastidip. It takes a lot of layers and wears easily on parts that get touched plus can be hard to remove completely on some textured surfaces.

Anybody else with a wrap?
Given the limited stock colors offered by Zero, I would think more people would wrap their bike.

The only one I've seen was a guy that had his done in black. 

Kind of a funny side story.  Everyone over in the facebook group gave me a *ton* of shit over how I have my license plate mounted.  Its bolted directly to the plastic cover over the turn signal mounts, so its at an angle.  Police around here couldn't care less.

What they do care about...  is the fact that my registration says its a red bike.  I got pulled over as a courtesy to make sure the bike wasn't stolen.

I have it mounted very similar. If you get the rear rack than that rear indicators bracket is also replaced giving you 2 lugs at the bottom instead. My license plate is mounted to these lugs.

In summer I remove the complete rear fender assembly. Not recommended to ride in rain like that (unless you don't care about having a mud cover back).

Maybe I'm doing it wrong...  but I've ridden in the rain a few times and down a muddy gravel road...  my riding jacket never gets dirty.  I must be going too fast    ;)  I think the plate extends the fender enough that the tire doesn't throw anything that can reach me.  Mine does stick out a little further than yours.  I like what you did, better though. 
I do get a little more wet in the front since I took my fender off, though.

Hans,

would you mind confirming the length of your tail bag, as well as the length of the rear pillion only please?
I am trying to see what size tail bag I could attached without having to install the additional platform.
thx!!
