This was the best tech tip yet you breezed right through it, for those who haven’t yet installed graphics your tutorial will have them purchasing a set for sure! ❤

Thanks man! I’ve installed more than I can even begin to count. Haha!

Best advice I would offer after many failed attempts is to remove a small slither of the wax paper from the center of the graphic and do half of the graphic at a time from the center to the edges of the graphic. Tends to lend a nearly perfect install w no bubbles.

Great video I am getting ready to throw some graphics on my daughters CRF 125 big wheel. I saw another video in which they use soapy water and then heat it out with the blow dryer. Is this something I should consider?

Where were you last week when I was installing graphics on my new FC350!? My first new bike in 4 years and was a bit rusty on the graphics install, but use the same method and they turned out great. A lot of people seem to like the soapy water method, but that never seemed to work out well for me.

No matter what method I use or how long I wait to ride, the shrouds and fork guard decals always start to peel at the edge after a while

Gotta “cook” the edges on with a heat gun
