the front shrouds? the side plastic that covers the radiator.
you shouldn't have to remove anything, just take your time doing it.

the skinny hood is the new style, then theres the regular one which is the old style.

If you look at the pics of my bike thats the new style hood.

All I know is that they told me this week when I called that they are the same measurments as the ones listed on there website(the Carbon one he black plastic ones are not pictured)

they will most likely not being making the Carbon fiber one anymore or it will cost you and arm and leg to buy it. I still dont get why you have to take the brackets off for the hood though Sorry guys, Im just trying to figure this one out .

Well if you want a good fit and nice look go ahead and pull your front side fenders off and it should match up perfect.....trim out around the holes and mount everything back up.....

This is the best shots I have in that area and this in on Laker plastic....

These graphics look good on red, black, or white.....

I personally think those are the nicest cleanest looking graphics on the market if i was going to put graphics on my bike those would be my first choice... BTW sweet bikes...

yeah i drilled out my rivets and removed the fenders to do the install.

only takes a few mins

my fenders are cut...so i just used the 2 bolts to re-attach, it holds fine, if your running full fenders just get some small stainless machine screws and install in place of rivets

if you do it this way, you can switch back and forth from race cuts to full fenders

Love those graphics! If you don't mind me asking , what was the price? Also , does the tank graphics have holes for air? I have always wanted a graphics kit but always afraid of the tank graphics peeling off.

how well do these graphics stick to "worn" plastic?

The grade of the vinyl is very nice and yes, therer is vent holes on the tank. Some vinyl is hard to work with, even some of the thicker stuff ,but this vinyl was a liittle more flex but yet strong .Im impressed so far. Only time will tell how long they stay on. I only had one very small corner that was pointy we had to snip cause it wouldnt stick. Thats a norm for small pointy(like flames for example) pieces.

I personally didint care for the seat cover but thats just me.Im gonna just sell it and buy else a Jettrim or Quad Tech Hump seat.

I appreciated the info everyone. :)
