Required equipment for installing your decal kit:

To apply your decorative kit for fairings, you will need:

  • Patient (a lot)
  • A day to install your decorative kit
  • Soapy water or alcohol to thoroughly clean your support
  • Gloves (if you have delicate hands)
  • Rags/paper towels
  • A good pair of scissors
  • A mounting bracket Available here!

Tips before applying your sticker kit:

First of all, here are the precautions to take:

  • Prepare a full day for the installation of your decorative kit 🙂
  • Sort the decorative kit parts by each side of the motorcycle to find them more easily later
  • Ensure the fairings are clean and smooth.
  • Thoroughly clean and degrease each fairing with soapy water/alcohol. Do not use WD40 or other silicone products. Fairings must be perfectly clean to apply adhesives. 
  • Do not handle stickers on the glue side.
  • If the decorative kit is not installed immediately, it must be stored away from sunlight and humidity
  •  When fitting, choose a heated room with a minimum temperature of 15°c, sheltered from wind and dust. It's also possible to heat the fairings before applying the decorative kit to ensure proper adhesion of the decals. A temperature that is too cold will not allow optimal adhesion of the decorative kit's decals.
  • After installation, avoid contact with cold and damp for 72 hours to ensure that the adhesive remains in place.

Application of deco kit stickers :

Before applying the decals, you need to cut them out and pull them between the right and left sides of the motorcycle so you don't get lost.

Then position the "white" ones in front of each plastic to see how to position each adhesive.

Remove the adhesive from its backing and apply it from one side to the other, pushing out the air as you go. If you have difficulty during application, do not hesitate to heat the decals with a (powerful) hairdryer or heat gun to make them more pliable. Be careful not to overheat!

Take your time to properly apply your decorative kit. Don’t hesitate to peel off and reapply a decal if it’s not perfectly positioned. You can use your fingers and the squeegee to remove air bubbles.

For an easier installation on certain fairings, we advise you to disassemble the part if possible. Then repeat the previous operations.

Finalizing the deco kit :

Once the decorative kit is applied to all the fairings, you can heat each decal to activate the glue and create adhesion with the support. Be careful not to burn the decals! If air bubbles are still present, you can prick them with a needle, then heat the bubble and it will disappear.

Allow 48 to 72 hours for the adhesive to bond fully with the substrate.
