Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need the left or right side?
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 standard is used across all manufacturer parts catalogs to ensure you select the correct graphic for your specific fairing panel.
What is the best way to prepare the surface for application?
For the best adhesion, clean the mounting area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This removes any lingering wax, polish, or silicone residues that could compromise the bond. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of dust before carefully applying the new factory stripe.
Use a felt-edge squeegee and work from the center outward to ensure all air is displaced, resulting in a bubble-free, factory-quality finish.
