One of the easiest ways to make your bike unique to you is to install a set of custom graphics. However, installing a complete kit can be a daunting task for those who have never done so, and there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to do so. Jared Hicks from Backyard Design is a pro at installing graphics, and he makes the job as easy as 1-2-3 in this video. We've been putting graphics on test bikes for over two decades and thought we had the process down pat, but we learned a few things while filming this!

That's a smart option, just order new plate plastics with the graphics already installed. Then you can just swap out plates real quick when you race different series that require different numbers.

Going to give this a try ! I screwed up on the right rear number plate on my sons 50, didn’t lay right from the start. He just got a new 110, so I bought a full kit this time . Going to do them all this weekend!

Also if you have a graphic that is falling off you can use the heat gun or hairdryer to stick it back on

Honestly he is terrible at fitting graphics, no need to get it in a mess and stretch it all out with Heat , line it up and work it slowly one way and they go on perfect.

The absolute best way is to remove the parts you are putting graphics on and then place them on the part with the backing still on. Once you have it in the right place, tape them in place at the top. Then spray a light amount of soapy water on the part and then start sticking the graphics on and squeegee the graphics on from the center working outward and use heat when needed. They will be perfect everytime!

I'd also recommend a Squeegee. This will help with the air bubbles etc

What about spraying soap and water then apply?

@066motocross Жыл бұрын

I'm surprised that nobody shows that. Like window tint and automotive graphics.soapy water and a rubber squeegee. Maybe these graphics are made different? I don't know

Anyone knows how to install graphics on a plastic fuel tank, I install it but got bubbles in a few hours, is there anyway to cure the tank to avoid transpire

@swapmotolive. 10 ай бұрын

No. Gas fumes seep through the plastic. The best way to extend the life of your graphics is to drain your tank when you’re done riding.

@smalltownlifestyle 8 ай бұрын

Usually tank graphics are perforated with sliced or holes in them. If there not this will forsure keep happening .

really like their stuff, BUT, their site is a real pain in the butt. id rather call them and do the graphics with them .I've done a few renditions , and when i go to save them , the work doesn't accept to their system and i lose the work I've done .
