About this decal

Have you noticed that the visual character of your machine relies heavily on its distinctive front fairing graphics? The front cowl stripe* is a critical component of the iconic silhouette found on models such as the Honda XRV650 Africa Twin. By choosing a genuine factory-original part, you ensure that your motorcycle maintains its legendary aesthetic and high-performance appearance exactly as intended by the manufacturer. The front cowl is the face of your motorcycle, and keeping its graphics in pristine condition is essential for any enthusiast who values authenticity.

Restoring the Front Cowl Visual Identity

The 87147MS8000 stripe is designed to follow the specific aerodynamic contours of the upper fairing, providing that sharp, factory-fresh look that enthusiasts demand. Because these are genuine OEM parts, they utilize the same adhesive technology and vinyl thickness as the original factory application. This ensures that the graphic doesn't just look right, but stays bonded even under the vibrations and wind pressure typical of high-speed riding or off-road excursions. Every curve and angle of this stripe is calculated to complement the bike's bodywork perfectly, maintaining the visual flow of the original design.

  • Professional Handling: We ensure your graphic is shipped flat in rigid packaging to prevent any creases or adhesive damage before it reaches your door.
  • Official Sourcing: This part is sourced directly from authorized manufacturer distribution channels, guaranteeing its status as a genuine factory component.
  • Original Packaging: Your stripe arrives in authentic manufacturer protective wrapping, preserving the adhesive's integrity and the vinyl's finish.
  • Sunlight Protection: Engineered with high-grade UV-resistant materials, this graphic is built to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements without fading.
  • Factory Assurance: Every decal is backed by the manufacturer's quality warranty, providing peace of mind regarding its durability and material standards.

When it comes to maintaining the value and look of your bike, the detail matters. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing your motorcycle look exactly as it did the day it left the factory, and using authentic 87147MS8000 graphics makes that possible. These precision-cut stripes integrate seamlessly with your fairing for a professional, clean finish that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Did you know?

Simple bubble removal. If a tiny air pocket forms during the application of your new stripe, you can easily fix it by piercing the center with a fine needle at a shallow angle and smoothing it out with a squeegee.

Factory-level quality control. Each genuine decal undergoes the exact same rigorous inspection process as the parts used on the assembly line, ensuring the color and adhesive strength meet strict engineering standards.

For the best results, use a masking tape guide to align the stripe perfectly before removing the backing paper for final application.

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