Hey guys, I know a lot of y'all are expecting the Grom build today. Have had a bunch of stuff come up lately which screwed up the days that I schedule out for building and editing. Thanks for being so patient. I'm hoping next Sunday everything should be good to go. Make sure you follow me on Twitter where I always update you guys on the status of vids and such. Have a great Sunday!
For wraping the inch deep holes just cut the vynil at the edge, check how dirtbike vynils wrap around those holes, they're really hard to stretch in, or try using a little heat to help it to stretch.
RiceFilmedIt Yes, you could start on a 300 but with your size it would be small and worse performance, an r6 would be great. I wouldn’t go with a liter bike because they have so much power that you underestimate it, once you get an bike just remember to respect the power it has and be responsible and know when your being reckless
Vinyl wrapping is an art form in itself. You chose probably one of the hardest things to wrap for a beginner (a sport bike). You should be proud. Compound curves and pockets are tricky for even experienced wrappers.
Motonosity it's not as bad as you think. Most people don't pay very close attention to bike like that. If you hadn't shown it we'd never know. Lol you did a great job for it being your first time bro bask in the glory of it.
On other wrap videos I’ve seen I see them brushing some sort of adhesive compound on the really sharp grooved surfaces to keep the wrap from bubbling up like on your bike. That adhesive is supposed to clean up fairly easily if you decide to tear off the wrap.
The lifting in the indentations is because you stretched in to the corners vs laying in to them. However, I don’t know how you would lay in to some of those - there are just so many contours on these panels. Great work overall, and much better than my first attempts on a motorcycle!
Dope bike. U could try to use a sewing needle to poke a small hole to release the air bubbles n use a heat gun to shrink the vinyl back. Rather than peeling the side up to release the air bubbles. Hope that help to perfect your bike.
This kind of feels like a tattoo. Like you live with it and it looks fine, nobody notices anything, everyone compliments you on it. But damned if you're sitting there and one day you notice there's actually a lot of small errors (which is very common in a tattoo). Nobody notices it and it looks fine!
Bike looks great man! More than an acceptable job for your first time. Ive worked a bit with 3M vinyl and 3M tint, the tension and cut angles are the hardest thing to get used to. I have not seen a ton of wrapped bikes, the ones i have seen tho tend to be 2 tone, most people wrap the larger flat pieces and cut a geometric shape around where a sharp angle or tricky fairing is. My ocd and perfectionism would be telling me the same thing, its good but i want it a little cleaner.... the trick i was taught for round indentations over a 1/2 inch deep that need to be wrapped was cut two opposing v's over the circle, >
The sweat drop on your earlobe. I just wanted to flick it! Just have Dan take you see Justin at Atlanta Custom Wraps. I'm sure he could give you a ton of pointers. You did a better job than I would have.
Hit up Dan, see if he'll introduce you to Justin at Atlantic custom wraps. Maybe they could probably teach you some of the tricks of the trade while showing us an awesome "WRECKED WRAP REBUILD" episode. 🤔
Bro honestly, like for your first time u did hella well. Its been looking good for a while but obviously since the r6 has such weird lines its gonna pull up a bit. Good job tho fr
I had the same problems with my z1000 wrap. The XSR900 was way easier. The key I found with those problem areas is using adhesion promoter. It's like a soft tacky glue that 3m sells. It comes off easily when you remove the wrap. Or you could have it professionally done, unlike me you live in an area with shops that'll do it.
What's up moto just wanted to say/warn you with the wrapping. I wrapped my bike with 3m material and the adhesive was so strong it peeled the stock paint off when I removed the wrap and it sucked badly, so yeah be careful when you remove the wrap cause it most likely take some paint with. Just a heads up
Hey Moto... When you showed the half inch deep holes that didn't come perfect I was wondering if a heat gun and socket (with the same diameter as the hole would help wrapping it properly). Also let's talk about the little nick on the rear piece😬.
Couldn’t you plasti dip it without messing up the original paint? I know SALTxTHExWOUND plasti dipped a previous bike and when they sold it they just pulled it off. Still looked brand new underneath.

@@carportmods totally. Go for it !

Them tags look a little out dated 😂

I love the wide aspect ratio you film in, fills my whole iPhone 10 screen without zooming or clipping.

I had to come clean haha. But thanks man
Holy shit, that was 6 moths ago?!?! Time flies...
Just over 5

Aha, good play on words 😂👌

Dayumm that bike looks dope!
Your B rolls are worth dyeing for 💙

The wrap is still gorgeous
If you want to you can take a knife and cut a small cut in the airbubbles and then press the air out to get rid off the bubbles in the wrap
I love ur cinematic shots
Now that you’re int the Atlanta area you should go see Dan’s guy!
Absolutely
Justin
He just rode Dan's H2 in the last video.

All I saw was pure beauty, no dirt or anything
This guy recorded this in a 2:1/18:9 format? God bless you!! 👍

I appreciate your efforts in typing so much.
11:42 looks sooo good
As much as I love the pristine white... GRAFFITI BOMB IT!
For me,
Your bike is so perfect sir. 👍
You did a good job man
Good job on the vid man! Bike looks great still. Hope all is well.
Looks really good for a first attempt. Now that you are in the ATL, I'm sure DIWD's boy Justin over at ACW can give you some pointers.
I'm from India and big fan of yours..!!
The sweat drop on your earlobe. I just wanted to flick it! Just have Dan take you see Justin at Atlanta Custom Wraps. I'm sure he could give you a ton of pointers. You did a better job than I would have.
I was waiting for r6 video for forever.....

True that
It's now a 20/20. Looks good from 20 feet away when going 20 mph.
You, chase and dan need to go up to blood mountain and ride for a day. Would love to see a video about it!!!
Chase wouldn't be able to keep up xD
Mototzigane ever since chase layer holly down on blood mountain he won’t lean on curves. He loves speed through the corners but wont lean lmao
Love you and your work bro
Thanks for sharing man! I learned some things and applied them to my project. Came out pretty good thanks to you sharing your exp. Thanks again!
Of course man!
You, Dan, and Chase should do a track day at Barber. Dan could use Laura's GSXR? Little middle weight action haha
in·den·ta·tion
You should take it to the wrap shop dan works with a lot they’re amazing people and they do a hell of a job
I was thinking about the same thing !
But hey, Moto likes to do stuff himself *cough chase cough*
I like to do it when I can :) I also don't think they do motorcycle wraps
wrapping in my country done as cheap as 50 dollars, and by the hands of professionals.
You should try that plastic dip stuff then if it ever gets messed up just toss on new always wanted to try it
Cody Irvine it works well if you apply it 100% the right way. If you don’t it turns out shit. Just a bit of advice
did the R6 go down? I'm seeing scuffs on the right engine slider (11:09)
OMG bro. i love that mc. i always visiting there shop here in our country.

From what I'd heard, you really don't wanna use it if you don't absolutely need to so I wanted to try it without.
@@motonosity I heard a lot of that too, but if you want a super clean look it helps. I haven't had any issues.

Dude it's 11:20 pm and I'm about to sleep but this came
Haha.. 9:00 here in India
11:28 am here
Nice !
Please get a protection piece for the ignition cover?
You live this life, I dream this life! What a cycle of life ;(
Still a good job 👍😁
Honda c50 restoration pliz

Man I worked those things forever lol. Just not enough material to go that deep.
@@motonosity giggidy!
@@motonosity that's what she said
do you mind me asking what electric shift kit you have on your bike I see it upshifting flawlessly awesome bike, thanks ahead of time
I noticed the R6 is still registered in Texas and you are wearing a Texas Moto meetup 2017 shirt.
❤️ still in Texas ?
I'm no wrap expert but if that was my first wrap id be happy. I had problems putting stickers on my cbr 😂
Love the content bro
Absolutely
Ride safe God bless
You could have plasti dipped the blue on inside
Wraps lasts longer afaik. I could be wrong with that 😄
just the inside where blue is still showing under wrap
Yeah true, could've done that
Did he mention how many miles the wrap has been through? Seems like basic info to include... 500 miles vs 5000 miles makes a huge difference.
You should definitely add decals
MY BOI GOT A NEW HAT ON!!!!!
Haha.. nice observation xD
I've worn it here and there over the past year or two haha
@@motonosity freakin silly man!!! Thanks for the reply, keep up the great work Motonosity
i luv my R6! from Thailand
Could you have used a bolt dress up kit to hild the vynil down in the bolt holes?
It's been just over 5 months
@Motonosity are you ever going to start up Fitnosity or is it dead?
what's up motonosity love your video's lately keep it up man!
He's getting better with time !
deffinitly yeah haha
Is it possible to take of the blue fairings and just buy other colours??
You can fix the bubbles by poking the bubble with the tip of a knife or a pin or something, then just run your finger over it.
I miss Yamaha blue
I love your R6 but I prefered the Yamaha Blue
Do you have a new po box there in Georgia now to send you stuff to?
Mononasity, I have a first gen r6. What would be best to move to, new r6 or r1? R6 is nice but sucks on highway and lots of vibration.
hm, earliest ive been i think to a motonosity video lol why does that matter haha
Why don't you have Dan's buddy redo the wrap for you?
One advice : postheat the vinyl to lock it down to his new shape otherwise it will lift up
Great video
Couldn’t you plasti dip it without messing up the original paint? I know SALTxTHExWOUND plasti dipped a previous bike and when they sold it they just pulled it off. Still looked brand new underneath.
dumb question but is there gonna be a txmotomeet18????
Yo after a while of getting back on wasnt that r3 supposed to go to someone else?
Do a galaxy wrap please
Good job. How are you riding without rear view mirrors?
the frame sliders are scratched, did you crash the bike?
Wasn't he supposed to do a give away on the r3? Why hasn't that happened?
Beautiful bike :)
What if I got this for my first ever motorcycle ??
Duude, did you drop your bike? I noticed the scuffed frame slider there as well....
My question is what you do for making money for yourself your bikes
Yoooooo brother there is a guy on TH-cam called CKWRAPS he teaches how to wrap cars and motorcycle and he has a very good info how to wrap everything.
Yeah I watched a lot of his videos before doing it.
The 2017th Variant has a Quick Shifter??
Are you ever going to get rid of those blue wheels?
Nice vid!
Is this a good first bike?
EXACTO KNIFE!!!!!!!
Why is the right side slider scuffed up? did you drop it?
Which Wind shield have you bought? Brand? Iam searching also an dark shield for my R6. regards David
But there is a white 2017 model....I don't understand.
If you can go back or if you choose to re-wrap it again, would you go through a professional shop this time around?
Probably not. If I did do it again, I think I could fix some of the problem spots. And shops charge a ton for moto wraps
what bracket did u use for the licence plate?
Super late but where’s that seat from?!
Dude take the bike to dan's buddy who does wrapping.
Those are lot of imperfections 😅, but damn it looks unique
hey do you guys think a 2012 r6 w 54,000 miles for $2000 is a steal deal or nah?
@motonosity where did you buy the wrap from ?
You should try plasti-dip it doesn't have that adhering issue, I think you'll like the result better
Why are r6 soo expensive in relation to cc's. You can get a litre bike for the price of an r6.
