Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the left or right side of the motorcycle?
Orientation is 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 is the universal standard used in official manufacturer parts catalogs to ensure accurate component selection.
What makes OEM graphics superior to aftermarket options?
Genuine OEM decals are manufactured using automotive-grade cast vinyl and factory color-matched inks. Because they are produced using the original manufacturer's die tooling, they meet the exact dimensional specifications and curvature requirements of your motorcycle's specific body panels.
For the best results, ensure the application surface is completely decontaminated with isopropyl alcohol. Use a felt-edge squeegee to apply firm pressure from the center outward to ensure a bubble-free finish.
