New Graphics Before, During, After

This is before, the stickers don't look bad but they are all cracked and falling off.

This is what it looks like without stickers:

This is with the new stickers, new seat cover, and a few of the old stickers still on it:

It almost looks like a new bike if I do say so myself. It's as close to a new bike as I will be getting anytime soon anyways. Well let me know what you think.

Thats sweet! We were just talking about it and what was your technique on putting on?

I uses a combo, I cleaned the plastic good wiped down with acetone, soaked the stickers one at a time, sprayed plastic with windex, put sticker on, used hair dryer to heat sticker up good to mold it onto the plastic, used credit card to push out moisture and air, polished it with McGuire's motorcycle plastic polish/cleaner to get rid of any glue that got on the front, then just let it sit for a day. Seems like the stickers are on pretty good to.  

Thanks for the comments.  

Thanks PDK for the info. And looks GREAT!!!

Thanks, I took my time so it took a while. I just worked with one piece of plastic at a time. I am happy I got all the advice on here. I was going to try to stick them on dry which would have been a mess. The windex with wet stickers was great though.  

Thats flipping insane!! Wicked PDK.

Ps. You may want to get that dent in your pipe sorted out. Its robbing you of power.

Thanks for the comment. That dents not big enough to hurt anything.  

You sure? I read the a dent the size of an egg, on the outside face of the pipe can rob the bike of up to 5BHP.

The dent looks a lot bigger than it is. It is only dented in maybe 1-2mm. It takes a pretty big dent in a restrictive area to cause a lot of problems. When I was younger I did a lot of hillclimbing, started with a new pipe slowly beat the crap out of it, decided I needed a new one to get the power, but it didn't make much difference.  

Actually That IS big in my opinion. And can effect jetting .

Well if it makes that much difference in power I will go ahead and put a few more dents in it for now.  

Up to you Pdk, and who am I? Some 15 yr old! Thats done one top-end!
