Help putting stickers/decals on???

[Dirtcrasher]

I need to put the large rectangular black stickers on my 250R rear fender. There pretty big and I want to get them on the money. I forget but can't you mix up a solution of water and liquid dish soap (forgot how much) and be able to slide them around a bit until there right were you want them? Then the stuff just evaporates - I think! Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

That's how window tint is done but never heard of that method being used on pressure sensative stickers. I would think the water woould screw up the stickyness. :?:

When I put my big Toyota truck stripes on thats how it was done and then you squeegie it out. Anybody else, please???

Thank you!!

When I numbered my snowsled I used soap and water and when I got it where I wanted it I used a flat object and ran it back and forth on the stickers while using a hair dryer and they dried and the back peeled right off.

Yup, use a little dish soap and water on the sticker, slide it in to exactly where you want it, then walk away for 20 minutes. Come back and give it a final smoothing out, and you should be good to go.

Thank you, sticker aren't cheap and I want them spot on.

Hey Dirtcrasher, we keep hearing about this R, but still have seen no pics??? What's the deal bud?

First off, I didn't want anyone to even know about it till I engraved and scribed the parts with my initials. Jorneyman had his 350X stolen a few miles from me so I wanted to do the best I could. And although it's got low hours it was missing almost all the plastic so I had to get new and used stiff, then there's mildew on the seat etc. etc And I was to cheap to buy better fork boots!! So it is not a "cosmetic winner" but I am so happy to have it and I think it will all work out fine. Soon as it's all they way I want it you'll see it ;) My hat is off to these guys that do it all and have a great looking finished product - it truly does cost a boatload of money to have the mechanical and cosmetic aspects combined.

Don't sell yourself short Goku, that Triz looks sweet and besides that it is quite the rare animal in comparisson to a 250R. We can't all have trikes with pretty little hoses and a nice rack if ya know what I mean!
