    I ride a 2014 VFR 800 /victory red color. even when riding slowly cops pull behind me to make sure my speed is not passing the limit. I have already posted about my speeding ticket 2 month ago which I am still contesting at court.
    I want to see if there is a way to change the color of the bike with some Honda designed vinyl wrap or some thing that can come off easily to paint it to white VFR color or modify it to 25 years anniversary 3 color. This victory red , really looks like Ducati and cops love to stop you on Ducati, at least in southern California.
    Thank you
    Ride safe /Ride long

    I don't know much about vinyl wrap but I don't think it has to be model specific. There is a VFR1200 nearby me that is for sale that has been wrapped in orange. I know it's a different model but if you want to see what a bike looks like in a vinyl wrap and the CL link is still active you can see it here:

    Good luck.

    Yes you can get a wrap. Check out a graphics shop that does commercial vehicles. My graphics are a wrap. It does peel off with careful application of heat. Not a heat gun but a hair dryer. A heat gun you are likely to burn the paint beneath the wrap.

    Get the hard bags. In my experience, hard bags make you semi-transparent to cops. Not sure what it is, but luggage and a decent set of riding gear seem to repel tickets.
