Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need the left or right side decal?
In the motorcycle industry, orientation is always determined from the rider's perspective while seated on the bike. Therefore, the left side corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side refers to the throttle grip side. This part is specifically for the left-hand pannier lid.
Can I use a heat gun to help with the application process?
Yes, a heat gun is highly effective for complex surfaces. By applying gentle heat (between 80-120°C) from a distance of 15-20cm, you can make the vinyl more pliable. This helps the graphic conform to the pannier's curves without wrinkling. Always keep the heat source moving to avoid damage.
Before installation, ensure the pannier surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and road grime for a permanent, bubble-free bond.
