Anyone have any experience with car/motorcycle vinyl wraps? Got an idea to apply red racing stripes on my Jackpot. Figure the vinyl only costs 30 bucks and if I don't like it I can take it off.

Be careful I order stuff off eBay for my gsxr to outline the rim and when you take it off it took some of the paint off. I also didn't heat it up, but use a soap solution so it's easy to move on the bike

I gotta say man those bars look sick on ur jackpot, I've been thinking of putting a set on mine. How do you like them? Any different in the handling?

I never had any other bars on the bike to compare them to but I don't have any problems with handling. My last bike was a Honda Shadow 750 which was easier cornering around the neighborhood but I'm used to it now. I don't think it's the bars as much, just the whole bike with the tires and size. One thing I don't like with the bars is that they block the indicator lights. They switched the location to the speedometer in newer models. maybe yours.

I just seen this topic. Hopefully you've found your answer by now, but if not... Vinyl is easy. A little bit of alcohol to wipe everything down good before you start, a weak soapy water solution in a spray bottle, razor knife, squeegee, heat gun, and patience. I'd say there's some YouTube videos out there on vinyl application.

Thanks for the advice. I still haven't done the stripes.Do you know a reliable place I can order vinyl from. I ordered from CarCustomz online and they never sent it or charged me. They don't respond to emails and I can't find their phone number. Found a lot of people online with similar scenarios.
