Ive got new decals and was wondering if anyone knows a good way/trick on how to get the air box decals positioned correctly?

Thanks!

when i did mine, i traced the old decals that were on the bike before removing them, so i would know where to put the new ones (i replaced the orange ones with black ones)

Terrys1980 is right man. Except he forgot to add "time'. Take your time. Tape down an edge, walk around it, sip a cold one, find the spot that works.

I have an '07 Firebolt and I'd be glad to try and get some measurements for reference. Drop me a note if you want them.

I know this thread is old news and he's probably already done this, but just for anyone's future reference I wanted to say be careful with the masking tape. When I replaced my stickers I outlined the old stickers in blue masking tape, and then just lined up the new ones with the tape. When I pulled the tape off it actually ripped little strips out of the top layer of plastic in the airbox. Not the worst thing in the world, but if I ever do it again I'll be sure to use electrical tape, or just stick the masking tape to the couch a few times or something to make it a little less sticky before it goes on the airbox.
