How To Apply Dirt Bike Graphics The Right Way

[@immusicman]

Just got my plastic in last week and my decals arrived a few days ago. I probably have a little time this afternoon to do some of this. Thank you for the video. I used to tint windows and the technique is similar. I appreciate you taking the time to show that You must be patient, and if you are, the results will be phenomenal. Good day, sir.

Used this technique with a hairdryer, amazing video, My drz400sm turned out awesome thanks to you

[@brian.d.mobley]

Cool! Glad it helped you! Thanks for watching!

[@bautimedan5187]

Thank you, I decided to listen to you ith the water mode and the graphics were perfectly placed, you are a genius, thank you

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hey Bauti! Im so glad it helped! Thank you so much for watching!

[@forresttaylor6849]

I watched a number of videos and I’m glad I found yours. This is obviously my first time doing it and I want it to be perfect. The water is going to help a lot. I’ve done thin stickers on glass in the past and that was the only way to do it. Lots of water!! My heat gun and graphics come in tomorrow and I’m very excited to wrap this bike up. Thanks for a video that actually helps.

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hey Forrest! Thank for the nice comment. Take your time and don’t panic and I’m sure it will look great!!

i see what you mean it looks like its melted into the plastics no edges very nice!

[@brian.d.mobley]

Thanks. It’s not super hard to apply graphics provided you are patient.

@@brian.d.mobley ive rebuilded my whole bike every bolt, new plastics and im getting my decals soon! its gonna be my first time but with your help and advice i have no fear😁 cheers.

@@tadey97 Awesome! That kind of work is so fun!

[@tadey97]

quick update: im almost done and as you said careful with heat i made some mistake got a little too hot and soft i damaged it with a squeege but for my 1st time it turned out amazing! thanks again.👍

[@eastcoastlife3547]

Nice tutorial , slow steady and the water makes a big difference to be able to take your time 👌

[@brian.d.mobley]

Absolutely. If you want it to turn out right, you definitely need to take it slow! Glad you found the video useful! Thanks for watching.

[@furocity]

It's settled. I'm using this technique. Every other video I've seen with people sticking them on dry just looks like a nightmare

[@brian.d.mobley]

I’ve applied A LOT of graphics on curved surfaces and while my way takes longer, it SHOULD result in the use of far fewer curse words! Thanks for watching!

[@Bluegastank]

Hey guys this worked flawlessly you just have to keep working it with the heat gun and pressing it down and working it out like you're making a pizza or something until it's perfect. I used an old credit card as my initial squeegee and then just used my fingers for the rest and let it cure indoors overnight for 24 hours.

[@brian.d.mobley]

So glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Great video used this method for a while with out problems

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hey James! So glad it helped. Thats a bit of an older video I did, but the info is still valid! I now use a soft cloth over the edge of the squeegee to make sure I don’t put scratches on the stickers. Thanks for commenting and watching!

thats great man..well done

Thank you!

[@Kobwo1]

Blisters on the thumbs. How do you deal with bubbles?

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hi Kobwo1. If you spray plenty of soapy water, you should not get any bubbles. But, if its too late for that, you can puncture them with a pin or a needle and try to work out the air.

[@marcq9123]

Do you have soap in that water sprayer? Great video by the way,,,,

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hi Marq. Yes. And it doesn’t take much soap, BTW.

[@justinwellbelove3099]

Hay nice work brian I am starting my full rebuild on my cr85 05 I was wondering what size socket fits the steering stem nut

[@brian.d.mobley]

Oh man. I dont remember! I think a 32mm.... Sorry. I just dont recall.

[@ctw_bobby6101]

How much soap do you put in

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hey Bobby! It does not take much. In a gallon of water, maybe a tablespoon. The soap just acts as a little lubricant to make it possible to manipulate the sticker before you squeegee out the excess water. Hope that helps.

Should plastic be removed or is it best to leave them on the bike?

[@brian.d.mobley]

I prefer having the plastic off the bike.

[@justinwellbelove3099]

Hay Brian im doing top end rebuild purchase, what size piston and reliable brand should I get is a eBay purchase safe enough to purchase, the cylinder is a good stock cylinder, not resleeved.

[@brian.d.mobley]

I like OEM, honestly. i dont buy engine parts like that on eBay. You just dont know what you are getting.

[@mikeburton5482]

If you know the part number and use it to search on eBay you can get OEM. Partzilla and most all companies sell on EBay. Iv done 2 whole bikes with nothing but eBay . Also if you can't find it, just Google the part and somewhere down the list will be an EBay list for it. It's like eBay can't find there own listings, but google can. Also the OEM part number is a must but googl can help with diagram and it just takes some time.

[@chrishughes-w2l]

What type of soap did u use

[@brian.d.mobley]

Hi. Just a very small amount of Dawn. It doesn’t take much.

[@Xxjoeynumber1xX]
