Frequently Asked Questions
How should I remove the old emblem before applying this new one?
To remove an old decal, use a heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then peel it back slowly. Use a plastic scraper rather than metal to protect the paint. Any remaining residue should be cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before applying the new genuine emblem.
Why is an OEM emblem better than a generic sticker?
OEM decals are designed by the same engineering team that designed the motorcycle itself. Every curve, angle, and dimension is calculated to complement the bodywork perfectly. This ensures the graphic aligns with the fairing's geometry and uses adhesive chemistry compatible with factory clear coats.
For the best results, ensure the nose fairing surface is meticulously cleaned and free of wax before applying the emblem to ensure a permanent bond.
