Frequently Asked Questions
Should I remove the fairing panel before applying the decal?
For complex fairing components like the middle cowl, many professional installers recommend removing the panel from the motorcycle. Working on a flat, stable workbench provides significantly better control over the alignment and allows for more even pressure during the application process, leading to a cleaner finish.
How do I fix a small air bubble after the decal is applied?
If you notice a small air bubble after placement, there is a simple professional fix. Carefully pierce the center of the bubble with a fine needle held at a 45-degree angle. Once pierced, use a felt-edge squeegee to press the air out, allowing the vinyl to settle perfectly flat against the surface.
Ensure the surface is clinically clean using isopropyl alcohol before application to guarantee the strongest possible bond for your new graphic.
