Back in Black!

[SimonUK]

So, even as I was buying the Resident Evil XR I knew she wan't going to stay red. I dabbled with wrapping, but all these complex curves and small panels make it really difficult to make a decent job. I ended up getting all the red fairings painted BMW Black Storm Metallic. It has been a slow process, which started before the announcement of the Triple Black. I have also installed the full (black) Akra system, and added some colour accents(May add a little more on the lower panels. I wrapped the black ABS plastic panels with CF vinyl., added the OEM grab bars.





Still a few more items to add, but will post as they are completed

WOW, Awesome!!! To my eyes/ personal taste, this is one of the best looking XR's I've seen. Also, it looks both O.E.M and custom (could be mistaken for a "special edition XR"), which is hard to achieve and get right.

Job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Intriguing all that work and still stock hand guards and screen

Looks awesome, I love a bit of individuality 

Nice work on the wrapping too, I’m going to have a play over the winter wrapping with some matte metallic gun metal grey as I think it will compliment the blue, not sure how much of the black ABS will go grey, so great to see what you’ve achieved

Thanks for the compliments. With regard to the wrap, the CF looks good from a distance, but up close I would give it a 5/10. Especially the 'Badge Carrier' is a real b!tch with all the angles and compound/convex curves.
