The soap allows you to move the decals into the right place and is quite forgiving. Dry off excess water in place and allow to dry naturally. Worked for me every time. But like most things there are probably 100 other ways :daumenhoch:

use guide tape and some sense and allow the soapy water !! :P :daumenhoch:

thanks everyone.

best to do it once the bike is built, that way there is less chance of damaging the decals
remember to make sure you clean where the decals will sit really well, you dont wanna fit them then see a finger print underneath em :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

my frame and forks should be back from SBD this week and i've already got the decals from del, but i'm waiting on a few parts before i can build her up.
you right i don't want any grubby finger prints under them.

had some spare time to put the decals on today. i got everything ready as in the thread on how to apply decals by wetting them.
got the decals from del. i wanted all chrome effect
i started on the landing gear decal, and what a bother i had. the individual letters wouldn't stick down. nightmare :(
so the rest i measured up and applied dry.
