Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need the right or left side stripe?
In the motorcycle industry, sides are determined from the rider's seated position. The right side corresponds to the throttle grip side, while the left side refers to the clutch lever side. This standard ensures you select the correct graphic for your specific panel.
Should I use a heat gun during the installation process?
A heat gun can be very helpful on compound curves. By applying gentle heat (80-120C) from a distance of 15-20cm, the vinyl becomes more pliable, allowing it to conform to the tank's shape without wrinkling. Always keep the heat source moving to avoid damaging the material.
For the best results, ensure the tank surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before applying the adhesive.
