Did you know?

Determining the correct side. In the motorcycle industry, orientation is always defined from the rider's seated position. Therefore, this right-side (RH) stripe is intended for the throttle-side of the fuel tank, ensuring you order the correct component for your specific side-panel configuration.

Professional application techniques. For long stripes like this one, the "wet application" method is highly recommended. By using a light mist of water and a drop of dish soap, you can reposition the vinyl for several minutes to achieve perfect alignment before the adhesive reaches its final bond.

Before applying, thoroughly clean the tank surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue for maximum adhesive bonding.
