Decal Application

[swatskeb]

Hey all I just posted up in the newbie fourm but I felt that this kind of belonged here, I have a couple of questions for you guys about the setup.

How did you guys install your decals/stickers for those that did them themselvs, I saw something about using a water and dawn dish soap mixture and then positioning the decals where you want and then using a squeege to get all the water out does this work and what kind of squeege did you use and where did you get it? It seems all the shower/bath ones i have seen are to big to really do a good job. Did you take the faringins off to apply the decals or did you leave them on?

Also I was wondering how you went about mesuring the distances between the sitckers I don't want to end up scratching the paint with a ruler or a tape mesure so I was thinking of using one of those waist mesurement things but they still have the little metal peice at the end, just wondering what you guys used?

In the dealer setup instructions It gives no mesurements for the Repsol sticker, michelin men, or the red showa decals does anyone have mesurments for these or did you just eyeball them based on Honda advertizing photos?

Does the Repsol sitcker that goes upside down on the tank interfere with where the Hayden commemoritive decal is supposed to go?

Are they still sending out the Nicky Hayden World Championship commemorative decals when the vehicle warranty registration is submitted (I know replica commemorative decals are avalible for purchase just was wondering about the official ones form Honda)?

Also 2 showa decals go on the front forks...except I have three of them just wondering if anyone knows where the third one goes?

I used sewing measuring tape in mm soft and does not scratch.

Used the ol eyeball

If you put the Repsol sticker on right, there will be no problem.

Yes, you will get them from HRCA prob in a month or so.

Goes on the Rear Shock. Look at the pictures on Honda's website and you can see it.

Man, you're going to have to stop making multiple threads on the same topic.

Ask a question in one thread, and one thread only.

I just spent quite a bit of time answering all the same questions in another thread that CB just did above in this thread.

Not trying to be a *****, just saying...
