I know something with those on a black 450r, and they look great!

they will look good, but id stay away from the seat cover if i was you, i had one like it with the vynal sides, they rip really easy and cause the whole seat to go, id check into the n-style full gripper seemless, it has held up great for me

ya i know what you mean, just thought id let you kno that it will probably be torn in 6 months or less, mine ripped in 2 months, so i dunno, you might not want to get it on perfectly tight, give it some room to flex maybe? when mine got cold it made the vynal all hard and crack

I have adapt graphics on mine. I did followed the instructions. Took off my tank - gas out let dry & I gotta tell ya. The 1st time out the 2 little front corner pcs came off the tank. 2 nd ride the bottom of the tank area started to peel up ( the slots in the tank sticker helped the edges to lift & my knees rubbing didn't help either but thats not the point. That stuff should stick. more spots are peeling etc.... The seat cover & the nose peice are the only things that I like. If I had to do over I wouldn't waste $130 bucks & my time on the stickers - I'd do a stabilizer etc...
Good luck - Hope yours works out better than mine.

did you use a hair dryer on it after you put them on?

No hair dryer. Why? Do you think that melts the glue onto the plastic?

no, it causes the sticky stuff on the sticker to get more and more active, its like compairing tape with elmers glue, when you first put the sticker on its like tape, if you use a hair dryer its like glueing it on, it makes it stay on better
