Frequently Asked Questions
How is the right side of the motorcycle determined for this decal?
In the BMW parts catalog, the side is always determined from the rider's seated position. The right side (RH) corresponds to the throttle grip side of the bike. This ensures you are selecting the correct graphic for the specific fairing panel you intend to refresh.
Can I use the left-side graphic on the right-side fairing?
No, left and right side decals are not interchangeable mirror images. Each graphic is precision-cut to match the unique curvature and compound angles of its respective side panel. Using the incorrect side will result in poor alignment and compromised adhesive contact with the fairing surface.
For the best results, ensure the fairing surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before applying the graphic for maximum adhesion.
