Decals & Vinyls
About Decals & Vinyls
Decals and vinyl graphics put color, logos and numbers on a bike's plastics and parts. The listings include race number digits sold in packs of three, number plate backgrounds, model-specific graphic kits, brand logo decals and replacement stickers, including a Showa fork and shock decal kit. Riders buy them to refresh faded or peeling graphics, to number a bike for racing, or to restyle after fitting new plastics.
Graphic kits are cut to fit a specific model and year range, as the Husqvarna and Stacyc kits show, so match the listing to your bike. Race numbers are listed by digit height, such as 5, 6 and 7 inch, and by color and style. The size and color your event requires is set by its rules, so check them first. Good results depend on preparation: clean the surface, remove old adhesive and wax, apply the vinyl in mild weather, and work from the center outward to push out air.
Brands here include Thor, Yoshimura, Akrapovic, Pro Circuit and Renthal. Graphics go on panels, so see Fairings, Plastics & Body Kits and Fenders. The wider group is Body & Frame.
FAQs on motorcycle decals and graphics
How do I apply a graphics kit without bubbles?
Clean the surface with alcohol or a degreaser and let it dry. Position the graphic before removing the whole backing, then peel gradually and press from the center outward with a squeegee or soft cloth. A little gentle warmth from a hair dryer helps vinyl follow curves.
What size race numbers do I need?
The size, color and style are usually set by the series or event rules, so check them first. Listings here show digit heights such as 5, 6 and 7 inch, in white and black, sold in packs of three. Choose a color that contrasts with the number plate background.
Will a graphics kit fit any dirt bike?
No. Kits are cut to fit the plastics of a particular model and year range, and a kit made for a Husqvarna will not match a Honda or a Yamaha. Check the model and years in the listing, and compare the shape with your panels.
How do I remove old decals safely?
Warm the decal gently with a hair dryer or heat gun on low, then peel it back slowly. Remove leftover adhesive with a cleaner that is safe for plastic, and test it on a hidden spot first. Avoid overheating, which can warp plastic and damage paint.
