Hey, try reading other related posts before posting new ones regarding same stuff

And like I said before, it may take a bit, before Repsol color matched accessories will be available. But not as long as it did last year for the new 1000, as all that needs to be changed is color.

personally id keep it black. or put a select few decals on only

I wouldn't know mine came as pictured.

I dunno what Tadi is bangin on about dude - you mention sticker templates he goes on about accessories. As far as your actual question goes:

I put mine on with alot of patience, you may need to go over a few fairing fixing holes, but thats ok, just trim around with a sharp blade (i used a scalpal, you have to cut the hole or the screws warm up and the pocket of air expands ruinin the sticker). There is no template as far as i am aware - I've looked at a few gallery pics throughout different sites and they all had different orders etc, but 3 rules, michelin men always go on fender, single repsol sticker goes on top of tank and one gas goes on front under lights (if you wanna be accurate to gp of course :)) other than that decorate the belly however you like - it'll be yours forever then even when sold!!

Hope it helps

thanks alot for the tips , i am going to put mine on tommorow , i can't wait , i think the bike looks naked now with out the stickers.

Snap, did the Repsol (letters) decals on the white and the CBR Racing decal come attached to your bike, or do you have you attach those too?

my bike camwith all the repsol stickers on the bike already, only ones that are not on the bike yet are the sponser stickers that go on the lowe,r fairing and the michelin man on the front fender. although i am planning on putting them on soon.

here's my bike with the stickers on.........need some patience to put em on, but its worth it doing it yourself

Yay! you din't put the michelin man either - BOYCOTT MICHELINS!!!

ya, didnt really want that michellin guy on my front fairing, i think a HOOTER'S owl will go better there.......ahhahahahhahahhaha

I put my stickers on myself. I looked for several days on spacing and didn’t find an actual template, so I just eyeballed it. Like mentioned earlier, find a few pics on line. Now on putting them on. I’ve read a few people say be careful when you put them on or you will ruin them if you try to reposition them. This is true. But however, this is how you put on any decal on any smooth surface. Get yourself a soft rubber squeegee (you can find at any auto parts store in the auto wash section) get a spray bottle filled with water and just a hint of dish soap, auto soup or what ever soap turns you on. Clean the area that the sticker will be placed on very good. Now begin to peel off the sticker from the backing. As you begin to do this, go ahead and spray the back of the sticker so that when you peel the backing off of it, it doesn’t roll back on itself and ruin it. Now spray the area that the sticker will be placed on and apply the sticker to it. Now you can adjust the sticker as many times as you like (as long as it has water under it of course) and put it in the exact position that you want. When it is where you want it, very carefully and gently squeegee over the top of the sticker to remove the water from behind it. I recommend starting from the center of the sticker and working your way to one end. Don’t worry. You will not remove the adhesive from the sticker. Once the sticker cures (depending on your temperature) that sticker will not go anywhere. Good luck.

wish I had that info a while ago, that's nice to know. If I put anymore stickers on, I will be sure to try it, thanks.

Not that i have a repsol blade but if i was gonna do it i`d definatley take both belly pans off and have em side by side on a table of some sort. Then you can not only apply them easier without crawling round the floor, but you`ll be able to compare sides at a glance to make sure that both sides are as close as they can be to bein symetrical. After all you don`t want the stickers in a different order on each side do ya?

Reminds me of when my brother had an old Pontiac Fiero. He had two silver steel wheels on one side and two black steel wheels on the other. No one ever knew because you can't see both sides at the same time.

Seriously though, it sounds like Anubis has a good method that will help illuminate any chance of screwing up.

The water method sounds like a good plan. I too wish I would of read that before I put mine on. I did it dry and used a laminated card out of my wallet. I applied the same sticker on each side in the same order so they were placed in the same location. I peeled the back part way off and stuck one end of the sticker and lined it up then with the card kind of squeegied across the sticker and peeling the back off as it layed down. I won't lie. I still ended up with some small air bubbles on the bigger stickers. The Michelin man was the hardest because of the contours in the sides of the fenders. One came out good and the other had a few wrinkles. None of which is that noticable unless you get right up close to it. So they were not as easy as I thought to put on. One cool thing about them is that they look black but they are really the same color as the bike along with the other dark stickers on the bike. Like the large Repsol logo, also metalic blue. I was told that the paint has a black base coat, then the blue metal flake over that. So it all looks black unless your in bright light or sun.
I added purple Leds over the front fender and inside the fairing to illuminate it some. Looks very cool.

The end.

some pics of them leds wud be cool

so let me get this straight..when you buy the repsol 1000rr where you cats are at, you have to put the stickers on yourself? All the repsols here come with them all on the bike already.

Its only the stickers on the belly pan - the sponsor ones, apparently bridgestone complained because there is a michelin sticker there but the bikes come with bridgestones...etc etc etc....all politics, so honda decided to give the buyer the option to put sponsor stickers on

It is mostly the sponsor stickers that go on the bottom but there are some more that you can put were ever you want. For intance mine came with an extra square Repsol sticker that typicaly goes on the tank cover, then there are about three of the Gas jeans that go on the two high sides of the wind screen area and one on the nose. I put one of mine on the front fender so I could put my Nickey Hayden number 69 (I bought seperate) on the nose. That about covers it.

My Repsol actually came with Perrelli tires not Bridgestone or Michelin but no Perrelli stickers.

Just one question.

I went through my sticker kit for the first time this evening and noticed that although there are two of each of the lower fairing stickers, they are slightly different sizes???

Is this normal as I would've expected the stickers to be identical on each side of the bike?

Pay someone else to put them on. The stickers sound expensive. and if you mess up youll have to buy
more. One shot deal. Good Luck.
 
Keep a hair drier on duty just in case you need to remove a sticker. Mistake happen. And have some one assit
