I was going to wrap the tank on my Harley, thought I would watch a "how to" like this to give me an idea of how hard it will be. Now after watching this I've decided to do something easier like build a nuclear submarine.
I just attempted the tank on my Sportster thinking it would be easier than what he just went through. I was wrong and I can confirm it would be easier to build that submarine!
When Wrapping side mirrors, fuel tanks, or anything that has really complex curves, you start out looking the same, having to slowly "mold" the vinyl around those complex curves. All while making sure to not over stretch the vinyl to prevent causing discoloration. Most low "rent" shops will piece together complex curves on mirrors, bumpers, and even rear deck lids, or gas tanks. It's the people that do single piece wraps up to panel gaps that are the true "PROS"... and are well worth the money.
Awesome. Having said the above, if one was to wrap a HD Dyna fuel tank, keeping the chrome centerpiece, would it be best to do it in one piece ( much less odd angles as in this video ), or each side separately? ~ I wrapped the forks in Carbon fiber after an auto shop said "it will just keep peeling because it's exposed to air". 2 years later, Zero peeling. Looks great. I'm sold on a mat Black Satin Wrap.. just figuring out the best way to get it done Well. Thanks man. Cheers!
So after watching this and his struggle with the tank moving I recommend this: If your workspace is "L" shaped (with a wall behind your desk) mount points for bungie-cords. Have a shelf too. Mount cords on the shelf, desktop, and wall. These points can hook onto most pieces and makes you "suspend" the piece so you dont have to hold it. Tried it today. Made my production faster!
CK, Karl here. Your BFF producer in Denver. Tip of the day. Always try to position the camera pointing away from the light source. That way you are not fighting the back light, and you can use the sunlight from the open door to your benefit. Karl
I'm going wrap my Bandit tank and watching this masterclass instructional gives me a lot more confidence, definately leaving the tank on, top vid thanks.
Holy crap! I recently bought some vinyl wrap to do my motorcycle. After watching this video I think I will assemble my bike back together and just ride it!
I got a quote to wrap my bike, I thought I was being bled dry, after watching this video, I think I'll get the job done by a pro and go drink some beer while they do it. Great content mate, thumbs up!
Very Impressive! Mad props on doing this this the tank off the bike! Did my R6 with the tank installed. The fact that it does not move around is a huge difference! There is no way I would be able to do this like you with the tank on the table. Amazing!
Well after watching you wrap a whole tank with one sheet, I'll go back and retry my tank covers which are easy less complex thou I thought it was impossible at the time hahaha. Thanks for the tips, I've learned a lot from this video
Exactly! I thought the same thing...I'm prepping my front fender and already have it screwed to 2x4s through the bolt holes...then going to screw the 2x4s directly to a workbench. Hoping it goes smoother than this. Good tutorial though to see what I'm up against.
Well...it's definitely the best way to attempt it without it floating around. But I gave up on it seeing my patience level is low...lol. I kept wrinkling it and couldn't get it right. I ended up stripping the paint off my bike since it was purple and I wasn't crazy about it. So now I have a bike that's stripped down to bare metal and it looks pretty cool the way it is.
@@texdakota I'm pretty new to vinyl wrapping and let me told you I wouldn't let my car/ bike tank anywhere near this shop ... I'm surprised he didn't send it flying across the room ffs.
Dude you are amazing!!....I think i have a little trick for you when you're working alone and the piece moves around, what i do is, I cut long strips of scrap wrap and i stick it on the piece and on the table with a bit of heat and then peel it off and stick it on another side so you can always work whatever side you want without it woving around....I have not tried to wrap a tank yet, but after watching you, i'm gonna give it a try, thanks alot for the great vid.
Phenomenal effort mate, I thought at the 15 minute mark it was game over. I'm about to wrap a Ducati tank in one piece. Luckily the wrap you're using is forgiving. Keep up the good work and I love your vids.
CK you are a badass...I started wrapping off of your videos but I also have a Harley and wrapping that tank by yourself..Are you an Alien..You cant be human..lol...are made of vinyl...lol..You are the best and a beast on TH-cam!
puf puf puf puf you woke me up I couldn't keep my eyes open 52 min video the sound must always turn off the boom boom of that tank a nice video thanks for that gr Han from the Netherlands
I use a bench with access from under. Then use a magnet fitted to a bracket. Rubber topped to avoid damage. Works well. Saves all that hitting a moving target routine.
please do a separate video doing the same thing with a mate helping. I'm curious to know if u can do it sub 15mins, 20mins is my guess all up. Great patience u demo'ed there my friend! Kudos!
Wrapping will be eased If you have fitting fuel tank with the bracket on table. We have been released similar on GS 1200 bmw for motor show. Just share ideas!!
Love your work ,and Damm good doing wraps alone , but would love to see someone helping you doing a complete wrap so we can see how is done with some help as well
Dude, This is Amazing. YOU are amazing! - I do not get what the hell is so hard to understand that anything worth doing takes Hard Work! Lmao... Especially Harley Owners complaining about doing this. There are nearly 100% Less contours on a Non- Sportster, HD Tank than the one you're doing. I'm planning on a Mat Satin Black ...This vid helped create a plan. (And showed it was possible). :) THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Damn. That looked like a disaster at first, but turned out great. I wanted to wrap my drz400sm this winter, but I'm not sure I have the patience. It would most likely get balled up and thrown in the trash. I should probably practice on something simpler eh? Excellent work.
wildcard252 it take patience more than anything. But once you try on some smaller curvy objects and learn how to heat and how the film lays soaking up slack etc. Its something anyone can do just take your time and learn how it stretches how it shrinks with heat etc and then go for it
How to handle too much slack material on any side while wrapping fuel tank ? Please do share your experience.. thank you and i have watched many of your videos they are awesome but this one was beyond them ... thanks and keep doin wraps 👍
Ya im getti g all new plastics for bike but was goin to have to paint tank came across you wrapping and honestly I think I may try to wrap it I filmed my head light years back and it was a wierd cone or something shape took some patiants and work bit came out really well I am thinking I may try to wrap it I deff wanna do just 1 piece though
This convinced me that it's clearly a better option to paint. At least in my situation. Modern tanks are generally hydroformed and too elaborate to cover, unlike a simple body panel. Decent effort here though.
Jake Viveros Sweet.. I'm plotting on how to attempt this as well.. So it is possible to wrap the 14s tanks without removing it completely.... nothing got in your way while completing the process?
Wrapping a tank of the bike or any parts while there off the bike is a big headache, I ran into problems doing it this way thanks to the parts moving around. Next time I do a bike ill leave it all on the bike lol
How about screwing down the tank to a block of finished wood? Not only that the tank won't dance around but you would also have it higher positioned and your back would appreciate it. Just make sure that the wood won't contaminate the inside of the vynil.
That was an Awesome vid, and a testament to your skill n patience, don’t reckon I got that much- if you did that again in a Quiet studio, bit better lighting- that would be a TH-cam Video “Par-Excellence, 10/10👍🏼
Guys, nice job with the wrapping, but don't record an interior against a very bright exterior - the exterior gets overblown and the interior underexposed, it looks unpleasant and amateurish...
It is a pretty complicated object to wrap... need alot of patience. I assume by looking at how to work with vinyl, it's like streching a bubblegum, but the danger is when you overdo it you see a light spot?
Did my gsxf gas tank on my table but made a jig so it would stay put , did it in carbon fiber wrap and never again stuff is thick will be rewrapping it satin black soon
would of been nice to show the whole process, do you fold the wrap under the tank before trimming? or just run a blade along the seem of the tank, also would of liked to see how you finish off round the cap
Do you think you can do a video on how to wrap edges of a panel when finishing it off? I can wrap a panel or something good but when it comes to putting the film over an edge with no wrinkles is where I have trouble. Or if you could maybe let me know some tips that'll be great!
Very helpful video 😉 I have an old Triump motor, but on that gas tank there are original logos under the clear coat. What do you think, can I wrap the gas tank? Will be nice or ugly 😁
What's your take on pinstriping butt joints? I have a similar tank I want to do the wrap in two colors. The top in brushed aluminum and the contour on the sides with matt black. Then I want to pinstripe with gloss black. I also want to do this "silver stripe" on the mud guards too. But, they are already matt black. So, it'd simply be the aluminum with a gloss black pinstripe.
Why not secure the tank to a piece of plywood or material work bench is made of to give it more weight and stability so you struggle less with it moving around on you? It would be nice to see the finished product. This video helped me realize doing my car will be much easier than I thought due to some of the Technics you have displayed. Thank you for sharing your time and experience.
I don't know. With that amount of stretching and glassing, I can't help but wonder how long before the wrap job will begin to fail, especially when the bike is sitting in the direct sun on a hot summer day.
Ps. I have no friends... hehe. ;) Quick question. What your doing looks like "pre'heat stretching?" The post heat to get it back in place?.. Not done a tank so im just posting my thoughts here.
I think there is demand for a helmet in which there is heat gun in front of your mouth piece in which you use your mouth to turn it off or on or adjust the heat. so you can focus on warping the whole thing without picking the heat gun once in a while.
I own a VN 1600 meanstreak and I'm thinking of wrapping the bike. Looking at this video makes me wondering if my tank would be a lot easier to do because of the shape? Is it easier to work with a mat wrap ?
I think that I would build some kind of jig in my shop to hold this steady, I think the movement would drive me crazy. It's driving me crazy just watching this.

No doubt i'm not the only one who skipped.
I help anytime dude it's an hour I don't think anyone didn't skip aheaf
I watched or 30 minutes and watched the left 6 minutes
Watching that was as painful as watching paint dry!
Too many ads
Ha, I was just about to write the same thing. Like 20 minutes in and I’ve watched about 2 minutes if even. Painful
So after watching this and his struggle with the tank moving I recommend this:
If your workspace is "L" shaped (with a wall behind your desk) mount points for bungie-cords.

Thanks for the tutorial. Managed to wrap my r6 tank with one piece :)
Holy crap! I recently bought some vinyl wrap to do my motorcycle. After watching this video I think I will assemble my bike back together and just ride it!
No shit right...lol..ride on bro!..Ck is a badass...
Caution ‘Master at Work’! That’s a fair challenge... Ninja vs Ninja. Great job CKwraps!
I got a quote to wrap my bike, I thought I was being bled dry, after watching this video, I think I'll get the job done by a pro and go drink some beer while they do it. Great content mate, thumbs up!
I really would liked to have seen you complete this. I was hoping to see the finishing process and post heat, trim up etc.
Seal the tank and fill it with water / fuel. Makes it much heavier and easier to hold in position.
Very Impressive! Mad props on doing this this the tank off the bike! Did my R6 with the tank installed. The fact that it does not move around is a huge difference! There is no way I would be able to do this like you with the tank on the table. Amazing!
Well after watching you wrap a whole tank with one sheet, I'll go back and retry my tank covers which are easy less complex thou I thought it was impossible at the time hahaha. Thanks for the tips, I've learned a lot from this video
Maybe screw it/bolt it down to some 2x4s, then clamp that assembly to the corner of the table so it can’t move.
Exactly! I thought the same thing...I'm prepping my front fender and already have it screwed to 2x4s through the bolt holes...then going to screw the 2x4s directly to a workbench. Hoping it goes smoother than this. Good tutorial though to see what I'm up against.
@@texdakota how did it go
Well...it's definitely the best way to attempt it without it floating around. But I gave up on it seeing my patience level is low...lol. I kept wrinkling it and couldn't get it right.

He should have filled the tank with gas and driven to the next wrap shop. Thats what he shouldve done.
Dude you are amazing!!....I think i have a little trick for you when you're working alone and the piece moves around, what i do is, I cut long strips of scrap wrap and i stick it on the piece and on the table with a bit of heat and then peel it off and stick it on another side so you can always work whatever side you want without it woving around....I have not tried to wrap a tank yet, but after watching you, i'm gonna give it a try, thanks alot for the great vid.

puf puf puf puf you woke me up I couldn't keep my eyes open 52 min video
the sound must always turn off the boom boom of that tank
a nice video thanks for that

This saved me from giving up on my bike wrap. THANK YOU

You have loads of patience
Top class work
That was awesome. Man you're patient and very meticulous. That's what it takes to make it look that nice. Thanks for sharing
This video just earned you a customer. No way I have the patience for that.
We need more motorcycle wrap videos
Next week I'm getting my training done, wish me luck! And then I'mma open my shop, man dreams about to come true. :P
How is it going?
You are good!! Wicked job and amazing patience! I don't believe the average person could do this.
When im doing tanks by my self i putva screw threw back mount holes into my table or i threw bolt them. Keeps the tank from moving
That’s what I was thinking.
I don't even wrap stuff like I have never had vinyl touch my car lol,
but I'm always watching these videos.
Thanks for the love
Only two types of people would have attempted this wrap. Someone insane, or Christian the Magician. Ü Incredible patience.

Halfway through I bet he said to himself 'FFS why did I even start this ' 🙄🙄🙄

@@oh_sei_la LOL Indeed... I like it when someone with the right skills do the job
Thumbs up just for the perseverance in getting that tank wrapped. Would like to see that done in Clear Bra film.
It's true...but not the reason I'm watching. :) Love the skills and so glad you share.
That takes allot of patients and time.
I would have thrown the whole thing up the workshop inside 4 minutes. Congratulations man, that's some patience you have there.
great job. pain to watch though.

Get a small 2*4 length of pine, big washer and a Tek screw, affix the tank to the timber through the rear tank mounts and clamp it down to the table

wildcard252 just buy some cheap vinyl and practice.
Vinyl is very cheap
wildcard252 it take patience more than anything. But once you try on some smaller curvy objects and learn how to heat and how the film lays soaking up slack etc. Its something anyone can do just take your time and learn how it stretches how it shrinks with heat etc and then go for it
Also as u see here it's very forgiving as far as if u mess up just pull up some add heat relay
How to handle too much slack material on any side while wrapping fuel tank ? Please do share your experience.. thank you and i have watched many of your videos they are awesome but this one was beyond them ... thanks and keep doin wraps 👍
and this is why I am a custom painter not a vinyl wrapper lol.
And this is why I work with fibreglass and not vinyl :)
And this is why I still drink milk from my moms titty instead of a jug

Mad skills and patience, well done, learnt heaps, cheers
You also can pin the tank to a corner of the desk thu one of the mount holes so stop it from moving.
this prove that hard work pay off.. keep it up!
This convinced me that it's clearly a better option to paint. At least in my situation. Modern tanks are generally hydroformed and too elaborate to cover, unlike a simple body panel. Decent effort here though.
From your video, I now know that life isn't easy without a friend.
I wrapped my zx 14 tank on the bike, and it is a lot easier when it's not moving around on you. He is a 100% right when he says the Key is patience.

dude, build a jig to mount the tank! make your life easier
If he’s going to do a zillion of the same tank sure.
@@acuracy00 i used 3 2x3's and a bench vise. It worked for the tank, front and rear fender it only took minor mods to fit each piece.
How about screwing down the tank to a block of finished wood? Not only that the tank won't dance around but you would also have it higher positioned and your back would appreciate it. Just make sure that the wood won't contaminate the inside of the vynil.
Chris, next time around, you might to put a piece of rubber backed carpeting on your table. It could help stabilize your gas tank.
I found if you use a little extra more film you can tack it to the table for a good anchor
What size do you recommend to use for a single piece wrap for an average sized tank?
Lesson learnt from this video:
Get a friend.
That was an Awesome vid, and a testament to your skill n patience, don’t reckon I got that much- if you did that again in a Quiet studio, bit better lighting- that would be a TH-cam Video “Par-Excellence, 10/10👍🏼
Guys, nice job with the wrapping, but don't record an interior against a very bright exterior - the exterior gets overblown and the interior underexposed, it looks unpleasant and amateurish...
Everything about this was amateurish, to be honest - the footage, the sound, the wrapping... Very poor content.
You, on the other hand, have very good content my friend. Subscribed!
@@gregbonham8659 sarcasm to the point 😂😂
@@THEMOTODOCTOR No sarcasm - the guy actually has great content.
Tanks generally have anchor points in to hold it in place.
Zip tie the bolt hole to the table
It is a pretty complicated object to wrap... need alot of patience.
I assume by looking at how to work with vinyl, it's like streching a bubblegum,
but the danger is when you overdo it you see a light spot?
Damn dude you are a beast at wrapping! I wish u lives close to me so u could do my car!
Did my gsxf gas tank on my table but made a jig so it would stay put , did it in carbon fiber wrap and never again stuff is thick will be rewrapping it satin black soon

Very helpful video 😉 I have an old Triump motor, but on that gas tank there are original logos under the clear coat. What do you think, can I wrap the gas tank? Will be nice or ugly 😁
What's your take on pinstriping butt joints? I have a similar tank I want to do the wrap in two colors. The top in brushed aluminum and the contour on the sides with matt black. Then I want to pinstripe with gloss black. I also want to do this "silver stripe" on the mud guards too. But, they are already matt black. So, it'd simply be the aluminum with a gloss black pinstripe.
I’m picturing some kind of adjustable jig that you clamp to the table and would hold this in place
What I learned from this video:
If you are going to wrap a motorcycle tank off the bike, bring a friend to hold it.
😂
Why not secure the tank to a piece of plywood or material work bench is made of to give it more weight and stability so you struggle less with it moving around on you?

I don't know. With that amount of stretching and glassing, I can't help but wonder how long before the wrap job will begin to fail, especially when the bike is sitting in the direct sun on a hot summer day.
Ps. I have no friends... hehe. ;)
Quick question.
What your doing looks like "pre'heat stretching?"
The post heat to get it back in place?..
Not done a tank so im just posting my thoughts here.
+valli vals yes that's exactly what I'm doing. Always heating after the stretch to reduce tension on the film
I think there is demand for a helmet in which there is heat gun in front of your mouth piece in which you use your mouth to turn it off or on or adjust the heat.
so you can focus on warping the whole thing without picking the heat gun once in a while.
I own a VN 1600 meanstreak and I'm thinking of wrapping the bike. Looking at this video makes me wondering if my tank would be a lot easier to do because of the shape? Is it easier to work with a mat wrap ?
Would it be a good idea to do the wrap on the bike and only remove the tank from the bike once you get to the bottom?
A rubber mat maybe ? and ya made it look so hard.
I think that I would build some kind of jig in my shop to hold this steady, I think the movement would drive me crazy. It's driving me crazy just watching this.
This is awesome, I’m in the process of wrapping my bike and I needed this! Thanks!
Awesome man, props to you for doing it in one piece. I would of just save the time and headache and did inlays... I'm lazy.
anker the tank down with tie straps through the mount holes through the table or a piece of plywood.
For demonstrate purposes should have thrown together a make shift stand . Couple pc's of wood and couple bolts. :-)
I was thinking that. A jig to make life easier. To be fair he showed how how skillful he obviously is with it sliding all over the place.
That's what I did. Made it 10x faster and easier to pull down tight with way less fighting
"Or you may not have any friends, that's why you're watching me."
It's funny because it's true.
Thanks for the tips. I'd really like to see how you tackle side fairings from the bike.
