Frequently Asked Questions
How is the "left side" of the motorcycle determined for this stripe?
In accordance with standard industry practices, the left side is determined from the perspective of the rider seated on the motorcycle. This means the left side corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side corresponds to the throttle and front brake side. This ensures you receive the correct component for your specific fairing panel.
Is it necessary to use heat when applying this decal to the cowl?
For the complex curves of an upper cowl, a gentle application of heat can be very beneficial. Using a heat gun on a low setting (80-120C) helps the vinyl conform to the panel's shape without wrinkling. Always keep the heat source moving and avoid overheating the adhesive to prevent stretching the material.
Ensure the surface is free of all wax and oils before starting. Use a lint-free cloth and high-quality cleaner for the best adhesion.
