does anyone have any tips on put radiator shroud graphics on 06 crf250r i have ruined two kits i cant seem to get them on straight.

get a spray bottle full of water and one maybe 2 drops of dish liquid. you can also go to an auto parts store and buy a window tint film kit that comes with a spray solution and squeegee. Soak both the rad shroud and the graphic with the solution...and put in place...the solution will let you slide the graphics around til you think there in the right position, then using some type of hard edge squeegee, push from center out to edge to get all the solution and air out from the graphic. if using the tint solution try not to mess with it for awhile..does take awhile for the graphic to adhere. you can also use a heat gun or blow dryer to help aid the adhesive to dry.

I use the Decal Works application kit.
15$ but well worth it.
I only pull half the backing off initially so I can screw it up too much.
Both shroud and graphic are soaked!
Use a small plastic putty knife thing with cloth wrapped around end to squeegy out application fluid.
Be careful if you using an industrial heat gun (I know)
Shouds aren't too bad, Rear panels are more difficult.

i should of put that...careful with a heat gun will melt the platic and graphic pretty quickly if too close and in one spot.

I used the steps as described by Scott and Mike.
Most of all take your time!!
I used a regular hair dryer and got the panel/ graphic warm the help the graphics conform on uneven areas as well as dry out the soap/water mixture. (I was told windex works well too)
Air bubbles are almost inevitable. After I was done, I used a fine tipped sewing needle, pierced the graphic and pressed the air out through the hole. You wont even see the mark when your done.
Good luck!
