Frequently Asked Questions
How is the left side determined for this decal?
In the motorcycle industry, sides are always determined from the rider's seated position. The left side corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side is the throttle side. This standard ensures you receive the correct part for your specific mounting needs on the fuel tank.
Should I use a heat gun during the application process?
On compound curves, gentle heat (80-120C, 15-20cm away) helps the vinyl conform to the tank without wrinkling. Always apply heat after placement, never before, and keep the heat gun moving constantly to prevent damage to the adhesive or the paint surface.
Ensure the fuel tank surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before applying the adhesive backing.
