betarob Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hey there, Is there any way of protecting the frames apart from buying the stupidly expensive frame protectors? thanks rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I've seen carbon fibre effect Technosol applied. It's got to be a Ball Breaking job though. Edited April 9, 2008 by Telecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edholland Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 It's got to be a Ball Breaking job though. yup we did a total car wrap in carbon fiber effect and the foil was very expensive ! if you just need protection go with matt/gloss black foil it,s 10 times cheaper. It,s just a decal so it will wear badly i,m afraid, i wonder how the black powdercoated frame looks after a while ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manx2day Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The black frames aren't too bad. I put some carbon fibre effect vinyl decal on mine, mainly where my boots touch the frame. It does wear but it does a decent job. The only pain in the ass is that you gotta cut it out and stick it on. Not always great at sticking first time but it does stay for a while.

gasgas4life Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 On mine the paint has started to wear off from where my boots have been rubbing constantly all i did was put some black tape on the places wearing, its comes off after a while but keep replacing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edholland Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 i can create a vector file if you guys want ? you can take that to a signshop and have the decals made. Let me see what i can make that is easy to apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plopper Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, I've used "Oxford Products Paintsaver" which is a thick stick on plastic/vinyl sheet which comes in a roll that you have to cut yourself. It comes in black, carbon fibre & clear and a heat gun is really usefull when applying. You can get it from almost any motorcycle dealer. Mine has been stuck on the frame for 6 months where my boots rub & is holding up really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
