Dude I need to say a HUGE THANK YOU! After watching this video I went out and wrapped my motorcycle tank took 3 hours buy it turned out flawless! Appreciate the time you guys took to make this
@@ryanscott8217 if you have the money to spend then yeah it's ok, however it can litterally feel like you're just burning money. and dont buy cheap wrap you will hate your existence I promise haha but I've gotten much better and the skill I've picked up was worth it
I've seen so many videos with guys saying it's impossible to wrap the gas tank without inlay and here you are doing what others can't. You are the BOSS of wrappers!
It's really not that bad it you have good quality vinyl. I'm sure I've watched those same videos. There are really not a whole lot of good videos out there. I ran into a few issues my first time around but just had to slow down and think about it. So far, I've wasted no wrap.
Thank you for this video, I watched it a year ago while wrapping my friends Suzuki Hayabusa, now I'm REwatching it to wrap my own Yamaha R1.. This was a HUGE help!
I just wrapped my Honda as my first wrapping ever. It was a nightmare and now I'm watching this and hear even you saying "this is really really hard". I agree XD
First of all let me say thanks. Because you taught me how to wrap, and now I do it to all my vehicles and motorcycles. I actually wrapped a 2015 S1000R and I will say that red piece that you held on during the final overview was the hardest part. The recess for the screw that holds it on to the tank was really hard and I'd love to see how you tackle that. Thanks again
@@bobbyseiler228 hi. There on his website I believe. I found a comment from the dude himself saying so. Good luck hope it works out for you. All the best.
Been watching for years and always felt like there was a familiarity to your voice. Today it hit me, I can't unhear Geroge Clooney when you speak a little slower, explaining in detail. Great job as always
This video is definitely one of the best instructional videos ive seen, and ive spent many hours watching videos beofe my forst attempt. I keep coming back to this video to refresh when needed.
I wish all how to videos were this good. I Might give this a try, but I’m sure it’s not as easy as you make it look. Probably the type of this you get a pro to do, and save yourself money and frustration. Thanks bud
You've never raged until you get an hour into a one piece project only to tear the vinyl and have to start again. One piece tank wraps are the reason I drink.
I just wrapped my own gas tank on my Yamaha and i lost sleep over it, and tore it off the next day lol. till not wrapped because im not sure how to do it. I dont want to wrap it and rip it off.....again.
I've just ordered a new bike and I'd been wanting to get it wrapped. I really want to do all the mods myself. So I am going to have a crack at wrapping it. Feeling confident but also nervous. Hopefully I can pull it off and be happy with the end result. Thanks for this video as I found it super informative.
can a gas cap itself be wrapped? I have a 21'MT-07, and I want to try color match my rims. I tried looking on here, but it's wrapping gas tanks, not caps/cap assemblies? great job Christian, this will help me tremendously.
Hopefully this video will help me. I just bought some wrap and kit and heat gun. Now I am trying to wrap a front ferring of a harley... its a lot bigger and a lot more difficult than a gas tank, needless to say this is super hard and so far I really SUCK at it
Thank you very much for sharing this! I want to wrap my 1990 K75 but I've never wrapped anything before. I am VERY good at detail work with my hands and have an eye for detail. I figure I'll start on simpler body panels first. But can anybody out there give me some reference on how long a patient guy that's never done this could expect to spend on a contoured gas tank? I mean, the K75 probably has somewhat equivalent amount of lines, curves, etc. to the S1000RR. Roughly. Anyways, should I expect to spend an hour? 30 minutes? All afternoon? Obviously we're all different too, just looking for an average.
Currently trying to wrap my Aprilia tuono tank and and this is not easy I’m two hours in and only have the top done but the more you do it you get a niche for it
Thank you! I needed this. I just got a vinyl plotter and am making my own custom wraps and decals and want my tank to match. My fairings are off but not having to take tank off too is much better.
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 😁
Very nice video, fast, well explained and very nice job. For sure u r a professional, also i believe that tank shape and the vynil quality/brand u used can help. I had a lot of struggle with my cbr650f tank. Thanks 4 sharing!
Hey! I have a question, may sound stupid... There's no issue having gas on the tank or something like that using a heat gun? So you have to empty the tank maybe or it doesn't matter?
Hey if I’m wrapping My gas tank filled with gas should I not use a heat gun? It’s. A heat gun made especially for wrapping that goes up to 1400 degrees (I own a sign company but don’t normally do many full wraps let alone my own customs)
Great video, helped me a lot. But have you ever looked at the gastank of a 2020 1290 Super Duke R? I tried to wrap it in one piece and failed missarably :) Would love to know if you think it's possible and if how. Or how you'd split it.
THANK YOU, back to the roots. But don’t forget check out his website 😝 no thanks for not making us go for this video I too learned from your videos thanks sir
hmm...this tank is morely round...I just did one half of my Suzuki GSX750F tank, I thought it would be easy, after I did all the fearing, but man i struggled hard...hope your video helps me a bit...just a half by now, because it gets different colour left and right
okay, I already see, you foil is much higher quality and easier to handle, yeah...and my tank is not mounted, as you said it's much easier, because it can't move^^
Love the vids bro! Want to experiment and wrap my ADV 150 , my first time ever, what product do you recommend, Avery, Vvivid, or 3m? or any other type.
Great tips! I am repairing fiberglass track fairings and this means using body filler. Do you think a smooth, sanded surface will be OK to wrap onto? Or will this be a big problem with trapped air?
I wish you had a bike video sooner but I did reference your mirror wrapping videos to wrap the gas tank of my Ducati. But doesn't the gas cap cover come off the BMW? It comes off easy on the Ducati and makes it a bit easier to wrap, not sure if that was the case for the BMW though but thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks!
I honestly didn't even try to remove it. It would have been easier if I had. I'm not very familiar with bikes, I didn't even think about attempting to remove that part. Next time I'll definitely have a look, thank you.
Hey, chrome deleting my mercedes benz very soon. Never wrapped anything in my life before but is red alcohol good product to use on the surface before wrapping?
I have a customer who wants to do this with printed custom graphics. Only way to not have a warped stretched out image is the do it in a few pieces. And even then...
Very nice job, looks so easy. But i decided, I'm not going to do it myself, far to much effort and it will frustrate me to death if its not perfect. Rather let somebody do it for me. Thanks for the vid!
Hey CK! I am doing my Honda Fireblade from 2005 in a week or so. I was planning on doing it with Satin Black and Carbon Fibre (Twill Weave) Black from 3M. (3M S12 and CFS12) Or would you recommend going with Avery on the Satin Black? (First time wrapper here!)

Had that happen with a fender, twice...tried to minimalize seams but ended up screwing myself in the end 🤣

🤣 that happened to me yesterday in front of the customer 😢 I was mad as hell 🤣
You’re the man! I got it in one shot for my 2023 S1000R with your explanation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow, you handled the wrap expertly and didn't apply too much heat- just enough. Great and helpful video. Sub'd
Crazy how easy he makes it look. This is fucking HARD to get right.
Wrapping goalie masks is slightly more complex, but very similar. Great video!

Did you wrap it yourself?
Helped me so much when i had to wrap a 2020 RR like the one you did! First time wrapping and tank and it didnt go too badly! Thanks!
how long did it take you to wrap?
This was an immense help, I'm wrapping my 2022 RSV4 and even just watching you finesse that s1000rr changed the game for me
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, i tried this with viviid wraps, and mannnn, this film looks so much more malleable in comparison. I ended up painting it
can a gas cap itself be wrapped? I have a 21'MT-07, and I want to try color match my rims. I tried looking on here, but it's wrapping gas tanks, not caps/cap assemblies? great job Christian, this will help me tremendously.
Very nice. I should mail you my motorcycle fairings for a wrap because NO ONE around here is willing to even attempt it. Great job!!
You need model wrap can blend colors by applying heat melting away seams.
I couldn't even manage my undertray. Did some bits on the car ok but the bike curves are a different animal
Very informative video. I'm getting geared up to wrap my curvey Hayabusa tank. My confidence just increased. 😅😅😅
Great video Christian I remember wrapping my tank in Hexis blue chrome on a zx9r and my stress levels went through the roof lol
Lol chrome tanks aren't fun at all. I did Hexis satin chrome on the white one. Luckily it had some nice body lines
Hopefully this video will help me. I just bought some wrap and kit and heat gun. Now I am trying to wrap a front ferring of a harley... its a lot bigger and a lot more difficult than a gas tank, needless to say this is super hard and so far I really SUCK at it
very good video showing the real deal when it comes to wrapping, definetly a confidence booster on pulling the trigger on wrapping
Would love to see how you do the finishing work on the fairings. Trimming the edges and corners always gives me a hard time!
I've posted all of those videos on my website www.ckwraps.com
Thanks for teaching me how to wrap.. lol now I'm gonna go drop an album lmao wish me luck🤞🤣😂😋

Growing the hair out bubba? Awesome job always wondered how to do a tank! Made it look easy like a boss
Hey! I have a question, may sound stupid...
There's no issue having gas on the tank or something like that using a heat gun?
So you have to empty the tank maybe or it doesn't matter?
Hey if I’m wrapping My gas tank filled with gas should I not use a heat gun?
It’s. A heat gun made especially for wrapping that goes up to 1400 degrees
(I own a sign company but don’t normally do many full wraps let alone my own customs)
Is it really difficult? I called some places and they were like yea we dont do that, its pretty hard
Great video, helped me a lot. But have you ever looked at the gastank of a 2020 1290 Super Duke R? I tried to wrap it in one piece and failed missarably :)
Would love to know if you think it's possible and if how. Or how you'd split it.
Who’s watching this again days after their first try 👍🏽 weird how it’s the same video, but you’re not the same person
Can you then put a tank pad on it ? Or will it remove the wrap?
🔥Bro you videos are so awesome glad to see you enjoy wrapping and showing us the ways!!!! 🔥
Is it possible to remove the wrap without damaging the finish underneath?
That's an amazing job made it look easy. Why would anyone wrap that gorgeous BMW red.

i have to ask, won't wrap shrink and split if you leave your bike out in direct heat of the summer sun?
Awesome stuff man!!! Keep it up, stay motivated. More bike stuff! 😅
Hi can i just ask what vinyl you used as it looks elasticated before you even applied heat
You're a legend! my compound curves turn into a wadded up ball of tin foil! Keep up the great work!
that bike looks really sexy in black, great wrap job as always.

Hello
If i have stickers or oem decals on my side fenders, do i need to take them off or it is possible to wrap onto them? Thanks for any info!
how do i see the other videos on wrapping the rest of the s1000rr? i can’t find them on your youtube page.
Great video, you make it looks so easy… 🤪
Takes a lot of patience
How much inch of wrap necessary to fully wrap a bike?
You are great bro.love from india❤️
What is the cost to get a gas tank done? Like the one you did or any sportbike per say.
Average range.
Could be $150-$400+
@@CKWraps thanks for the reply.
Related question: How do you deal with the "Triumph logo" does the company sell the sticker in case people repaint it etc. ?
Yes, you can buy the decals or have them made.
Hey CK love you vids, can i ask is vinyl fuel proof ? or is there a special types for tanks on bikes ?
Thank you, good advice.
what kind of sticker do you use?
Awesomeness CK boss 💖✌️👑🙌🙏🌈
Will this ruin the paint underneath in time?
How fuel resistant is the vinyl?
just the perfect video I needed from you, now I know how to vinyl wrap my sportbike for my birthday, Thanks.
How do I get rid of vinyl that is wadded up in one spot ?
Awesome video
Im confused that you are not getting Glue Lines from all that heating and stretching
Oh man this was great but I don’t think I could do it so well ahah
Sir tell me edges solution
Clean work💥👌
Awesome video as always. One question, not sure if you have ever answered this, but will wrapping an engine cover last? Or is just not a good idea?
It depends on how hot it gets. Most likely it won't last for long but you never know.
