Is there a post with DETAILED instructions on how to do this?  (pictures would be awesome too).

I have decided that I want to do this to my forks.

Thanks!

the wrap is pretty hard to work with. It helps to take off your front wheel and be sure to clean the piss out of the forks.  You can use some heat to help the vinyl.  or get someone who works at a sign shop help you.

Are you saying if I took the bike to a sign shop and told them what I wanted, they should be able to do it pretty/

Huh?!

That's what I'm going to do, basically.

A friend of mine has a tinting/vinyl sign business.  I linked him to this thread and asked if he could do it, and he said "no problem"

[MsTek]

I don't know anyone who has a sign shop!

What color vinyl are you looking for?  I may have it in house and can ship same day if I do.  I have a few detailed write ups that Ramses and I worked on when he began this project.  Coupled with his pictures you will be able to do it at home no problem.  Taking off the front wheel is convenient, but not necessary.

How much would it cost with shipping and handlng norcal area for my m696 fork matte black.Any idea how many i need..but i want enough numbers to make some trial and error.since this is my first time doing it .. thanks

I have flat black vinyl which has a slightly smoother finish than matte.  I would say it is similar to a satin finish, but not glossy.  I can ship as soon as Wed. if necessary. What model monster and forks are you applying the material to?  I have found that 8"x10" (length x circumference) panels provide a universal fit.  I have 7" between my top/bottom triple and 7.5" to the bottom of the fork tube, not including the slider and fork bottom obviously('01 900).

i would try the flat black in reasonable price..this is for m696 i dont have the measurement of the fork right now but when i get off tom..ill take the measurement right away and let you know.
