Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if this is the correct side for my motorcycle?
In the motorcycle industry, orientation is always determined from the rider's seated position. The left side (LH) corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side (RH) is the throttle grip side. This standard is used across all official parts catalogs to ensure you receive the correct component for your specific side.
Is it necessary to remove the fuel tank for installation?
While not strictly mandatory, professional installers often recommend removing the panel or tank for complex graphics. Working on a stable, flat surface provides significantly better control over the positioning and pressure, leading to a bubble-free, factory-quality finish that is much harder to achieve while the part is still mounted on the bike.
For the best results, ensure the surface is chemically clean and apply in a dust-free environment using a felt-edge squeegee to avoid surface marring.
