Doubled my performance!

Everybody knows you can drastically increase horsepower by adding red flames.

This is my second post on this one. I was wondering what the cost was on the wrap project. Is this more cost effective than a paint job? I've seen these before and the results are beautiful. I'm also wondering of the durability or lifespan? I purchased my 2013 Voyager brand new in June 2014. It's got several rock chips in the paint and I already have paint bubbling from surface rust on the front fender. I take good care of it and keep it covered unless I'm on it. I'm disappointed in how well the paint has held up. Some day I'll be looking at a re-paint and I've been wondering about these wraps since they look really great when they're done.

I was getting quotes for $2500-$3000 for paint. The wrap was $1400 with me taking everything apart. 3M says 7 years outdoors. The shop said garage parking and taking care of it, 7-10. I hope they're right. The price probably depends a lot on the area you're in. Paint price was also me doing the take apart/reassembly.

At 1:00 in your video you show a Kurakyn tri pouch. Where did you get it? Kurakyn's website doesn't show one for the Voyager. Is it for a different bike and you modified it?
