Vinyl Wraps For Kawasaki Ninja 650
Wrapping a motorcycle is fun. You may apply the wrap on the complete frame or choose segments that will supplement the overall look and finish. Vinyl is perfect as it is easy to install and easier to remove.
Depending on your personality, you have full control over what type of vinyl you would like to use to wrap your Ninja 650. There are many varieties and finishes of vinyl wraps available in abundance. We have carefully curated a list of the best selling and most appealing vinyl that you can choose from.
Chrome Wraps
A light metallic vinyl sheet, visually similar to liquid mercury is a great pick. Polished and a little shiny to make your ride stand out when the light is dim. Undertones in chrome give you the freedom to choose from a palette of colors that will amplify the aggressiveness of Ninja features, making it sleek and giving a premium quality look. The vinyl wrap is stretchable enough to fit all the sharp corners.
We recommend using Satin Chrome Silk Prussian Blue vinyl wrap colors for a softer feel. It will make your Ninja look as if swathed in silk. If you want a more electrifying look, go for Satin Chrome Silk Ultramarine or Silk Azure vinyl wrap. Satin Chrome Silk Champagne Gold is another great color choice for your heavy bike.
Metallic Wraps
Trying to find the perfect balance between sheen and shimmer? The metallic wraps are great for your Kawasaki Ninja. This vinyl wrap is a considerably better choice as it has six layers profiting more durability and a longer life span. Inclusive of metal flakes, when light reflects on the surface, a glittery visual effect is introduced, making it spotless and diamond like.
Gloss Wraps
Almost true to the original paint, the category of gloss wraps depicts an elevated version of the body paint while reflecting light and allowing the vinyl to shimmer. Gloss wraps have a smoothness to their surface and offer a slight sheen, which is highly captivating. Not only is this vinyl wrap durable but also has properties inclusive of UV protection layer, which also helps in keeping away debris like dust and bird lime.
The glossy wraps at Vinyl Frog have further three categories: Super glossy, high glossy and glossy metallic. We recommend that you use Super Glossy Sea Green or Mamba Green, and Glossy metallic Everton Blue to give off a distinctive edge to your Kawasaki Ninja when on the road. Glossy metallic Vampire, Raspberry and Rufous Red are other great choices.
Matte Wraps
Matte wraps have this superb quality to absorb light and signify your ride as a solid. They have a sandy feel with a rough texture to give a presentation of being dull and rather toned down. Matte vinyl wraps are often applied in a spectrum of hues.
Carbon Fiber Wraps
Carbon Fiber Wraps is Incredibly strong and lightweight; this vinyl wrap is long-lasting and amazing at protecting the motorbike. The weave pattern of carbon fiber improves the overall sporty look of the Ninja. Visually, the vinyl has a sensitive texture to the entire finish.
Carbon fiber vinyl films are also available in various forms like gloss and matte. Each variant shows a very distinct look towards the texture elaborating the entire body of the bike. We recommend taking the simple organic carbon fiber vinyl, as it will not look gaudy and will fit and blend well with the surrounding landscape.
Kawasaki Ninja Wrap Designs
You can personalize the vinyl wrap on your Kawasaki Ninja 650 by going for a design rather than a plain wrapped look. You can choose a two toned wrap or a geometric design.
You can also go for a multi-colored look. Flames are the hot favorite for Kawasaki Ninja. Owners also go for race graphics since the bike is known for its awesome speed. Graphic kits are also available in the market so you can choose one that best defines you and apply it on your cherished Ninja bike.
Benefits Of Wrapping Your Kawasaki Ninja
The Kawasaki Ninja is a mechanical achievement in the auto industry. With the bike being manufactured globally, investing in spare parts and often trying to change the look can prove to be heavy on your wallet. As aggressive as the bike might look, the built is sensitive and prone to harsh weather conditions.
Rust can cause the lifespan of the bike to drastically decrease and moreover, lessen the performance due to brittle parts not being able to maintain the level of functioning that is required. Experimenting with different designs and patterns can put your personality into perspective, not only providing a finer experience for you to ride but it may also be visually appealing.
Measurements Of The Bike
For a successful wrap job, it is imperative to know the exact dimension of your ride. This helps in buying the right amount of vinyl and cutting it accordingly. The length of the Ninja is 84 inches (2115mm).
Are you planning on wrapping the bike entirely? If yes, we recommend that you invest about 8 yards (7.5 meters) of vinyl. If your project is DIY, then we would recommend around 9 yards of vinyl just in case there are minor errors which usually occur like bubbles under the wrap or an unfit placement of the wrap itself.
Things To Consider Before Wrapping Your Kawasaki Ninja
Perfection is consistency, and our vinyl wraps have consistently improved on looks and performance. Before applying a vinyl wrap, there are a few factors that you should consider to make the process more user-friendly.
- Quality of the vinyl is the most important factor when selecting a specific wrap. With sky-rocketing prices today, manufacturers often source their materials from cheaper suppliers to promote cheaper prices.
- Applying low quality wraps will leave a negative impact on the original paint of the motor vehicle resulting in bubbles and wrinkles.
- Lower quality vinyl wraps use adhesive that may peel off the paint during the removal stage, and that will increase costs in the long run.
- For a new experience, or if this is a DIY project, we recommend that you are well informed of the method of applying the vinyl wrap. Professionals focus on the tight edges and sharp corners which are harder to wrap. This might be difficult if you do it yourself.
- Avail every opportunity to park the motor bike indoors to prolong life as much as possible. Washing the bike with hands will leave it less prone to scratches.
Tools Required To Wrap Your Kawasaki Ninja
Vinyl wraps are produced with a layer of adhesive for it to stick on the body permanently. Be aware of the outside temperature and how hot or cold the day is as the glue may be activated and the vinyl wrap could become brittle and shred. The vinyl is also sensitive to heat. Keep a precise look out for any equipment which could radiate heat that could harm the film. You can be better prepared if you accumulate all the tools and place them in an order of usage. The tools required are:
- An excellent quality vinyl wrap. Vinyl Frog has a lot of variety to choose from that will further glam up your Kawasaki Ninja making it the king of the road.
- Grease or Wax remover.
- Cleaning solution - 70-90% of isopropyl alcohol.
- Microfiber cloth for washing and cleaning.
- Measuring tape.
- Squeegee.
- Heat gun.
- Cutting knife.
- Thermometer.
How To Wrap Kawasaki Ninja?
Vinyl wrapping Kawasaki Ninja is a bit more complex. We would recommend taking a professional’s help in this regard unless you are an expert yourself and have full knowledge of what you are embarking upon.
- As with any bike, the first and foremost step is disassembling it. This will make the job of wrapping much easier and hassle free.
- Clean each part very well with grease or wax remover and the cleaning solution.
- Start with the gas tank. Measure the dimensions and cut the vinyl accordingly. Remove its backing and place it over the tank, smoothing it out with hands and a squeegee to cover the body perfectly taking care of the curves and contours. Stretch and smooth.
- Since Kawasaki Ninja has a big tank it is recommended to cover it in three parts: first the sides and then the top part. The same strategy will be applied – stretch and smooth. You will need at least two to three pairs of hands to do this perfectly. Arrange for two helpers at least.
- Apply heat with a heat gun to smooth out creases and ensure strong adherence.
- The same process will be followed in all the other parts that you might want to get wrapped namely side panels, under tank and under seat fairings, rear light shroud, exhaust guard and so on.
Cost Of Wrapping Your Kawasaki
The Kawasaki Ninja 650 has a build like no other. The average cost of vinyl wrapping the bike is proportional to the parts of the bike that have to be wrapped.
A DIY project will be cheaper as there are no labor costs incurred, although if you do decide to hire a vendor or a garage, according to the quality of the Vinyl and the dimensions selected to be wrapped, you are looking at a price range of around $1,000-$3,000 inclusive of labor.
