Frequently Asked Questions

What defines the quality of an OEM decal?

OEM graphics are manufactured using automotive-grade cast vinyl and specialized inks that match factory specifications perfectly. Because they are produced using the manufacturer's original die tooling, they offer a level of precision and durability that generic alternatives simply cannot replicate, ensuring long-lasting adhesion and vibrant clarity on your fairings.

Should I replace both side graphics at once?

While you can replace just one side, ordering both the left and right graphics together is often recommended. Over time, environmental factors can cause subtle changes in existing decals; installing a pair ensures a perfectly symmetrical appearance and consistent finish across the entire tail section of your motorcycle.

For the best results, use a felt-edge squeegee and work from the center of the R1 logo outward to ensure all air is displaced during application.
