machine:
Yes, I used the windex.
Then after I had them lined up, I ran hot water over them.
But that was just the air dams, not the tank.
The dams are great!
I've herd the tanks are a pain!

hughes:
Will it restick if you let the bike soak in the sun light :?:  Or a heat gun

machine:
Uhhh, I used a heat gun.
I don't know if they'll re-stick. I don't think so.
I've herd of guys spraying there tanks with a sealer.
Or pre-painting them. But I didn't want to do that.
I'd think that wouls be a pain too????  :roll:

hughes:
The graphic's may look good with just the shrouds and not the tank. Let us know what you come up with.

rradar:
I used a heat gun as well on my new graphics. Looked sharp for about 3 or 4 months, then they start to bubble and loose adhesiveness on the tank. I tried getting the edges to stick again with just more heat-to no avail. I guess I'm just going to replace decals every 6 months. Pictures are under "Ricky's Re-Built 1990 K5" on page 2 of the Gallery. Hint: don't order Acerbis radiator shrouds or number plates. The size is not stock and the graphics have to be modified. I haven't put any graphics on my desert tank yet, curious as to how that will look.
