@chinesegeorge thank you George…this bike fascinates me! I want to do another one 🙂

Just amazing, Cricket @bikequeen
This is definitely going to be one of your best bike builds ever.
Thanks for sharing that decal trick.

Front cowling done. I did the decals on the front cowling Friday and Saturday.

32 decals in all, 9 underneath 23 on top, there are no side mirrors but instead tiny airfoils one on each side so when they are attached there will be a total of 46 decals on it plus the metal badge.

They include that plastic mesh for the air intakes but I didn't like them so I cut my own out of some unused radiator PE

The hairdryer method was nuts! Worked like a charm! Still had an issue with bubbles stubborn little things. I will let it dry well and hit the whole thing again with Walther’s and heat.

Here are some pics…it’s not perfect but I like it. Took most of Friday and Saturday to do.

This is one decal that went inside the front cowling. I have never had a decal conform to curves and angles like this….simply amazing. I would never have thought it possible. The combination of Walter’s and heat and a soft brush soaked in Walther’s made it lay down right where it was supposed. The heat kept it soft and kept the decal from melting as I worked it with the brush and also dried it quickly. It’s kind of a learning curve but I am impressed. I never would have attempted this 2 years ago. Still much practice to perfect it.

The finished product (as stated I still want to try and flatten it some more). Some messed up but all in all I like it

@chinesegeorge oh sorry I didnt know it was an old trick…was new to me. I’ll drop it

Amazing indeed, my friend @bikequeen!
Great technique!

Kawasaki Ninja H2R is finished
Front cowling has 42 carbon fiber decals on top and 9 on the underside
The fuel tank and seat side fairings are painted with AK Extreme Chrome, the front side fairing are painted with AK Extreme Stainless less Steel, that are great paints put vey thin and will scratch easy and seem to stay tacky for a couple days but I’m not complaining…I will use them again

@gblair thank George! I amazed myself …. I was told years ago to never use a hairdryer on decals that have been set with Walter’s…they were wrong 🙂

Looks wonderful, my friend @bikequeen!
