First of all, here are the precautions to take:
- Set up a full day for your deco kit installation 🙂
- Sort the parts of the deco kit according to each side of the bike to find them later
- Check that the fairings are clean and smooth.
- Clean and degrease each fairing with soapy water/alcohol. Do not use WD40 or other products with silicone. The fairings must be perfectly clean to apply the adhesives.
- Do not handle the stickers on the glue side.
- If the deco kit is not installed right away, it must be kept out of the sun and humidity
- At the time of the installation, choose a heated room with a temperature of 15°c minimum with the shelter of the wind and the dust. It is also possible to heat the fairings before installing the deco kit to ensure a good adhesion of the adhesives. A too cold temperature will not allow an optimal adhesion of the stickers deco kit.
- After installation, avoid cold and damp at contact for 72 hours to ensure good adhesion.
Application of the stickers deco kit:
Before gluing the stickers, you have to cut them and pull them between the right and the left side of the motorcycle to not get lost.
Then position the "blanks" in front of each plastic to see how to position each adhesive.
Remove the adhesive from its support and glue it from one side to the other while chasing the air as you go along. If you have difficulty during the installation, do not hesitate to heat the stickers with a hair dryer (powerful) or heat gun to make them more malleable. Be careful not to overheat!
Take your time to stick your deco kit straight. Don't hesitate to peel and reapply if a sticker is not well positioned. You can use your fingers and the scraper to remove air bubbles.
For an easier installation on some fairings, we advise you to disassemble the part if it is possible. Then repeat the previous operations.
Finalization of the deco kit :
Once the deco kit is placed on all the fairings, you can heat each stickers in order to activate the glue and to make cohesion with the support. Be careful not to burn the stickers ! 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 maximum bonding of the adhesive while the glue is bonding to the substrate.
