Finally got around to painting my custom tank cover that 5-Odro imported in from Twin MC. But I had a bitch of a time laying the decals on. No idea how the factory got them to lay on such a curve. Still didn't turn out to bad. I left my old pic in my profile so you can see a before and after shot.  | ||

Hello Try it with soapy water first, and then put sticker on already wet tank and with credit card get rid of air bubbles and such. Worked for me | ||

Never thought about that. After all that's how we used to put on window tint film on our cars in the younger days. If I get to many negatives on the street I'll redo them. But for now it's not bad. Thanks Paul. | ||

Clean looking x1 for sure!  | ||

Heat gun will also help or hair dryer makes the decal strechy and flexable | ||

they had a template. Think a cover that slipped over the tank cover. This template had a cut out, a window. This window was in the shape of the sticker and was fit into said window for perfect placement Think something like this but more sophisticated. | ||

as stated above...mix up a little soaping water in a spray bottle. Spray the area, lay the decal out and slide it around where you want it, then push the water out, by hand/ with a towel, squeegee, etc and then let dry for a while. Looks good though!! | ||

The decals are in the same spot as original. I had the old cover right there when I applied them. Just got in to much of a hurry and didn't think about the soapy water. A couple of other riders picked out the crease's but said it still looks nice. Don't know how hard it would be to peel off and put on another set? | ||

Planning to paint and apply stickers in the near future, after I get them properly in place should they get a layer or two of clear coat? | ||

I had thought the same but then again the originals didn't so I didn't coat mine. |
