I just installed my new one industries graphics kit today and I got a few small bubbles in the gas tank area, I am just wondering what is the right way to get rid of them? they are small so I left them insted of tearing it back up. I was tinking of popping them with a pin and smoothing them that way, but will it peel up there later after that? What tips and trick do you guy have for me know? Thanks everyone. Other then that, I was amazed how not hard it was to get it all on, I thought it would be alot harder then it really is! It's even all straight [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have used the needle with good results before.

Give them a tiny little pop and smooth it over. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have noticed on some of the older XR's at the facility that during the storage process and when the plastic fuel tanks are full of treated fuel that when you pull the covers off there will be bubbles in a factory set of graphic's. The fumes migrate through the plastic over time and create these bubble formations. I might go over to the XR section and see if this has occured again lately.

I use the pin meathod, then set the bike out in the sun & let the graphics flatten out.

To put them on windex the place were u wanna put them on stick them with the windex still there and use a plasict sqweegie and push the windex out works without a hitch and is great, no bubbles. if u do get them use the pin method.
