Graphics install
What method are you guys using for installing graphics on your bike? The bike shop says to use soap and water then heat gun. The graphics shop in town says to do it dry, and don't use heat. I put the fender graphics on dry, and it was a pain. I have the FX 02 KDX graphics coming in.

Make sure its super clean and free of any oils.
Warm up the plastic with a blow dryer. Don't do it out in the cold garage. Make sure the decals are at least room temp too.
I then spray Windex (glass cleaner) on the plastics, apply the decal, move it around to the right spot and then squeegy (sp?) from the center to the edges, pushing out the glass cleaner and air bubbles.
That's just me. Google it. I'm sure you'll find 1000 techniques.

When we put decals on aircraft we use a mixture of alcohol and water with a couple drops (and only a couple drops) of Joy dish soap in a spray bottle. It will let you move the decal to better position it and will let it stick when it dries up.
