Design tips
- Keep stripes parallel and evenly spaced.
- Use a classic block font for your number.
- On the YZ450F, the radiator shrouds carry the most artwork, so check the pattern there first.
Installing on the YZ450F
Because the panels are wide and flat, alignment matters more than heat. Dry fit each piece with the backing on, mark the bolt holes, and apply from the center outward so long edges stay straight.
