Using reflective decals is a great way to improve your motorcycle’s visibility. Here are some tips on how to choose and apply your decals correctly:
- Buy a whole decal kit. This will give you the best overall look and will give you decals for all areas of your bike.
- Select decals that come with application tape. This makes application easier.
- Clean both the application area and your hands thoroughly. Any oil or skin debris can affect the adherence and the look of the decal, potentially causing the decal to blister or peel off.
- Dry the area thoroughly to ensure proper adherence, and do a test fit with the backing still on to check for proper placement.
- Apply the decal slowly, taking your time to ensure it goes on smoothly. Follow manufacturer’s instructions concerning wet or dry application.
- Be extra careful of rounded surfaces. If you do apply to a rounded surface, try to limit the surface area to nine inches or less.
Decals can do a lot to improve your visibility, and visibility will help you avoid motorcycle accidents. Use the tips above to get the look you want when you apply your decals.
