It looks great, but what a pain to install! I have bubbles, and over-all the graphics just look like they are trying to pull up from the plastic. I'm scared they're going to come off. They're installed properly but the vinyl is kind of thick and doesn't follow the lines of the plastic well. For anyone else who has installed this, or any graphics kit, do they usually stick better after a few minutes? I done this ten minutes ago.

 

what we did on my friends raptor we cleaned the surface off with soap and water and while it was still a a little bit wet we put on the graphics. because it was still wet we could move it around and adjust it. it didnt affect the sticking at all.

 

i have heard that you should use 409 cleaner. Spray the palstic with a fine mist then spray the sticky side of the new decal. This allows you too position the decal and then use a sgueegee to get the bubbles out. If you have a bubble that wont come out ...you may need to take a razor blade and cut a little hole in the bubble to get it to sit flat. The 409 cleaner will not affect the adheasive of the decal and lets you properly position it. Just let it dry and its done.

 

409 will break the glue down and possible not hold up as well.

I use a spray bottle of water and a couple drops of dish soap. I lightly mist the area and place the sticker on and move it around until it is placed correctly. I then squeegee the water out. Let dry at least 24 hours before riding. Works good.

 

I cleaned my plastic really good with just regular car soap and then lightly misted the plastic and graphics with soapy water and dishsoap. To get it to form to the curves use a blowdryer to heat the graphics and it will allow them to flex more. I did this on mine and only had one ripple that I couldn't get out near where the top of the seat meets the gas tank.
