Default Little bit of vinyl work

I have had ideas for eyelids for my bike for a couple of years but I could not find a red vinyl that matched and wouldn't allow light through. So i decided to use black and just continue it onto the fairings. I had leftovers so I took on some other ideas that I have had.

So, the spots i put new Vinyl:

Front Fender (That was prolly the hardest)
Rear Fairing
Front Fairing
Heel guards (I know that they will probably not hold up but i had extra and was like Meh)

Thanks. I like it. Its my first bike. I kind of wish i wouldn't have done as much to this thing as I have. Now I don't want to ever get rid of it.

Looks good, I was actually thinking about doing similar vinyl work on the tail. Now I actually have a good look at what it looks like instead of trying to visualize it.

Stealing that idea for the tail, but wraping the undertail as well. Maybe make it look slimmer...

Stealing the eyelid idea too. But honestly I thought that one up a few weeks ago when I tested my HIDs

LOL Idc if you steal the idea. I hope that you are good at laying vinyl. Doing a hotbodies undertail would be very difficult.

What color is your bike?

I had the same idea a while back. Just havent got around to getting vinyl yet. Here is the way I was going to lay it. Played with masking tape for awhile.
