Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need the left or right side graphic?
In the motorcycle industry, sides are always determined from the rider's perspective while sitting on the bike. The left side (LH) corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side (RH) is the throttle side. This part is specifically for the left-hand side of the rear section.
What is the best way to ensure the graphic is aligned correctly?
Using the "hinge method" with masking tape is highly recommended for precision. Apply a strip of tape across the center of the decal to create a hinge, then peel back one half of the backing, apply, and repeat for the other side. This prevents the graphic from shifting during the final application.
For the best results, ensure the tail cowl surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before applying the adhesive.
