Vinyl wrap on blinding chrome on TC fuel tank...

[Cu Dubh]

Chrome or not, the top of the B/TC tank with the fuel lid and phone compartment is not my favorite part of the bike. But there are much worse, like those cruisers with big speedos on the tank, looks awful...

I would love just a tank without ornaments and a fuel cap on top. I would easily sacrifice the phone/GPS feature for that.

Concur. I do like the looks of the TC tank but I'd happier with a more functional tank bag instead of the little phone cavity.

I pulled mine today and did the wrap on the fuel Cap cover also the little piece at the seat. Turned out rather well for my first time ever doing the wrap thing. I also left the phone holder out, I put a microfiber towel in the bottom of that rather big empty spot! I can get a garage door opener and set of gloves in there! cool! couldn't get my phone in there anyway, not without taking it out of my case. Being the butter fingers I am, I could see me dropping and breaking a 700.00 phone. No thanks, I have my phone mounted on a holder on the left side of my handle bars and the power cord goes right into a BMW power outlet on the instrument panel. Works great. I also put some anti-slip tape on the legrests (my left leg wants to slide off all the time. Broke it in a motorcycle accident many years ago) That turned out well too. Wunderlich Top case Luggage Rack, Boy, they are proud of that! But looks good and easy install. Erica Clearwater lights, Low beam. "Clowns to the Left & Jokers to the Right"

As for wind up the pant leg.......... That feels great on a hot Arkansas day! LOL

Probably should have posted all this on another thread, Sorry I'm on a roll! LOL

A good day, eh!
I'm considering leaving the phone holder off the bike. Like you, I have to remove it's protective case to fit in the holder, which is a PITA when transitioning off the bike. With the holder removed there is some truly usable space in that spot.

I think I'll use it for spare fuel

Since I'd rather have a bigger tank than a phone holder...

I wrapped mine in a false leather wrap, matches the seat and fairing dash

That looks way nicer than the chrome.

My wife has a design for a vinyl decal that she made me that I am going to try on the fuel tank flap part, its not a complete wrap but just a decal with a cool design, and I am hoping that it will block enough of the surface area to make it not as quite as much as a 6 inch square mirror on the tank.

I don't want to apply the decal yet as I am awaiting a warranty replacement for the whole shebang, the plastic-chrome part is separating off of mine at the rear of the phone door - and so the whole console will be replaced. Much of the chrome-like stuff is just glued onto the plastic frame underneath - and the adhesive failed on mine.



So - I will wait and show you all the cool decal design at a later date.
