I tried to put a new tail decal on my 954 and completely ruined it.... I am missing one on my 29 and just bought it.... any suggestions on how i should go about applying it, or where can i go to get it put on...

 

i will try to explain how i apply decals. the decal should come with a front and a back covering, with the decal in the middle. (kinda like a decal sandwich) first put your decal on the bike where you want it and tape it at the top. pull the bottom of the decal away from you bike and remove the bottom piece of "bread" from the sandwich. now, starting at the top, by the tape, use a credit card or something flat and slowly work the decal onto the plastic. make sure you press out the airbubbles. once the entire decal is on the bike, make sure you press the decal firmly all over and then pull of the top piece of transfer tape...ie top piece of bread. when pulling off this top piece, go slowly and peel it away at an extreme angle from the plastic. hope that helps a lil

 

Use soapy water,I.E. a lil bit o dish soap and water in a squirt bottle,1st clean the section where the Decal is goin,then spray it lighty with soapy water,apply your decal,the soapy water will allow you to align it,then squeegee the air bubbles and soapy water ot from the center out of course,u can also use a hair dryer,or heat gun to speed up your process,but dont get to close with a heat gun,and dont stay in one spot to long,you just want it warm,keep a couple of dry towels to clean the water as you squeegee it after its set,wait 24 hours to let it dry completly before you ride....

 

im about to try the soapy water method tommorw i hope i dont ruin a 14 dollar decal! lol

 

lemme know how it goes......pics are a good idea......
