PUT GRAPHICS ON YOUR BIKE
It's a sticky situation

1. Clean slate: Optimally, you should get new plastic when you buy a graphics kit. If you use old radiator shrouds, make sure you clean them with soap, water and contact cleaner.

2. Baby steps: Start by peeling off a small portion of the protective backing on the decal. We prefer to do this on the upper front corner of the radiator shroud.

3. Line up: Before you stick the small exposed corner down make sure the graphics line up. Apply pressure across the width of the radiator shroud to check the bolt holes, corners and edges.

4. Peel off:Once you're sure that the holes and edges line up, attach your small exposed corner and slowly begin to unpeel the protective backing as you go. Try not to touch the glue.

5. Glide on: Use one hand to pull the graphics tight while the other smoothly applies the decal. Attach small portions of the decal at a time. Use your hand to iron out any bubbles.

6. Back removal: When about half of the decal is on the radiator wing, you can attache the rest with large side-to-side sweeping motions with your hand. Apply a lot of pressure.


7. Almost done: The last step is easiest. Take what's left of the decal and stretch it with your hand until the last of the holes line up.

8. Finishing touches: On radiator shrouds, curves equals creases. To stop a decal from bubbling or wrinkling, use heat. Either a heat gun or your sister's hair dryer will warm up the graphic and make it more pliable.
