Graphics

Are there any tricks that can be used after fitting new graphics to keep the buggers on for longer??

I've heard tales of painting clear nail varnish and even some type of glue around the edges.......
Or is this bollocks and is there a better way anyone knows of??

Clear sticky back plastic over my orange thing when new. Everyone took the piss at the time but its still on the air box panels and the graphics haven't worn off like every other orange think.
Rest of the panels weren't crash proof

I think once they've starting to lift Gary that it, use a hot air gun to warm them up & stick em back down,

+1on the hot air gun and when the glue is totally shagged stick em back with translucent silicone

Cheers gents

Only moithering because the CRF came as a 'special' black edition
After searching the world for a new and identical set of grafics,  found  some yesterday under a weird listing on ebay at ET James's of all places, so quite sure I'll never find another set and want to make them last as long as possible

And before anyone else says it, I know you can't polish a turd, but it's my turd and I like it so there!

Think the best way to make em last longer is fitting em right, spotless/clean plastics & as said a heat gun with extra heat around the edges an hour or two after you fitted em again.

Top tip Shocker... Don't use white spirit to clean the old glue off your plastic's, trust me i know i now own a very..very.. dull looking ktm

Best thing for cleaning the old glue is brake cleaner aerosol its alcohol based and evaporates

After taking all the tips on board, spent a wet Sunday in the garage and it's looking 'cock on' as they say

Warmed the old glue enough to get it off, cleaned everything with hot soapy water, wiped over with contact cleaner then the wipes that came in the pack
Removed a narrow strip off the middle of the backing to position things right, then slowly peeled the backing off each way, warming up with a hairdryer (until it died   ) and pressing down as I went

Back (as suggested) an hour later to touch a few bits up, and looks good,

Will give it plenty of time before use, and think a bit more care with the pressure washer in future the way forward
