1050 in an unusual color

[Pueblos]

I made a short amateur video as a summary of wrapping my Tiger. I think it looks unusual enough to be worth sharing - modesty isn't one of my strong suits I know black rims are missing, maybe someday?

Nicely done 

All those curves and ridges must be a pain to wrap smoothly. I know I would make a complete mess of it, have trouble enough wrapping simple boxes for Christmas.

You coulda just bought a Burnt Orange in the beginning... On the flick, it looks the same, although not glossy. Have you seen the ricers are wrapping rims these days? Maybe that would look good? I HATE black rims - looks like you never washed the wheel for 100k miles  .

A matter of practice. This is not the first motorcycle I wrapped but the fact is you have to be patient.

Haha, true, but I've been looking for this bike for so long that the color choice was secondary Gloss black rims are very hard to keep clean, but with matte rims it is not such a problem, I've got ones in my KTM. Wrapping these shapes would be too time consuming, but I was thinking of rubber coating, like Plasti Dip or something. On the other hand, those silver rims are not so bad, I don't know anymore
