Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine if I need the left or right side decal?

In the motorcycle industry, sides are always 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 is the standard used by all manufacturers in their official parts catalogs to ensure correct component identification.

Are the left and right tank graphics identical?

No, left and right side decals are not mirror images of each other. Each graphic is specifically engineered and cut to match the unique curvature and contour of its respective panel. Always verify the correct side before ordering to ensure the graphic aligns perfectly with the bodywork's specific geometry.

For the best results, apply the graphic to a surface cleaned with isopropyl alcohol in a dust-free environment between 18-25°C to ensure maximum adhesive bond.

* If this decal is listed under multiple models or versions, the exact mounting location may vary slightly.
