The wrapping continues. Next up, the tank.
Before:
[smg id=1291]
(As an aside, I had 265 miles on the clock since the last fill up when I removed the tank. I still managed to get 2 thirds of a gallon out and there was enough in there to audibly slosh about while I was messing with the tank!)
Start with the largest flattest surface, even if just for self motivation!

I had to really heat the webbing over the filler cap to stretch it in far enough to stick to the sides.

[smg id=1294]
After trimming with the magical Wrapcut tape and returning the tank to the bike, I edged the carbon with red pinstripe as a nod to the original colour.
[smg id=1295]
But I don't like it, so gloss black vinyl striping is on the way!
I gave the filler cap a good polish while it was off too!
