  • Will the decals be OK on my gas tank and engine?
    The decals are of automotive grade and are designed to withstand the environment, in which
    they will live. All decals come with a clear high gloss laminate for protection from fuel/oil spills,
    UV rays and dirt which greatly increases durability!


  • Can I clear coat over the decals?
    Yes you can but it is not necessary. You must be very careful with clear-coating as certain types of clear coat
    such as "lacquer-based" types have been known to react with the decals in a negative way.
    You must do
    your own research and use your best judgment. If you decide to clear coat over your decals this may be helpful.

    ***There are only exchanges for items damaged from shipping, no refunds. All exchanges will be decided
    at our discretion. Decals that appear to have been damaged from being partially removed from backing or tampered
    with will not be exchanged..


  • Whats the best way to care for my decals?
    Decals may be cleaned with just plain water or car wash soap. Always use a non-abrasive cloth to avoid scratching the
    decals laminate. When cleaning the decals always carefully wipe from the center outwards.

    Even though our decals come laminated, avoid spilling gas/oil mixture on them as much as possible to provide the best
    care.

    Other than cleaning when desired there is no maintenance, enjoy!


  • Whats the best way to remove the old sticker and stamp?
    If the sticker that came on the motor is not already an oily mess, is peeling or falling off then its a matter
    of time. You can remove the sticker anyway you choose. For sticker removal we choose to use simple
    WD-40 and a razor blade. Saturate the sticker with WD-40 and let stand for 3-5 minutes. From our
    experience this is the most safe and easiest method of removal. Then use a simple razor blade and start
    at an edge and carefully scrape away the sticker, take your time! When finished there may be some
    residual glue there so continue spraying the WD-40 on and try wiping away. The razor blade may be
    needed to help remove the last of the glue.Be careful not to get any WD-40 or any other fluid under the
    magneto cover!.


    For removal of the stamp, simply take the "clutch arm cover" off by removing the 3 screws and tapping
    out the rivets from behind with a nail. This is very easy as the rivets come right out. Then replace the
    "clutch cover arm" then you are ready for the next step.See Instructional video below!

  • What about scratches from removal?
    If you scratch the motors paint during removal of the sticker and stamp, not to worry the decal will fully
    cover the footprint of the sticker and stamp you are removing. The decals will have a completely opaque
    background which will hide all scratches and blemishes beneath it while adding a new an amazing new
    look to your motorized bike!


  • What’s the best way to prep my gas tank and motor?
    There is a very simple and short video tutorial on the decals page that gives you a guide. Properly
    preparing your gas tank and motor for the decals is crucial for the durability and adhesion of the decals.

    After removing all current stickers and stamps we recommend you use a clean cloth and wipe the
    surfaces of the engine and gas tank with denatured alcohol thoroughly and let dry. Try not to touch the
    surfaces after wiping with alcohol. Then you are ready to install your decals. Be careful not to get the
    alcohol under the magneto cover.



  • What’s the best way to apply my decals?
    If the motor is already on the bike then probably the easiest and safest way to clean and apply your
    decals is by removing the 3 faces of the motor. All that's needed is a simple screwdriver. Once
    removed you can sit at a table and take you time installing your decals.

    There are several different methods of installing decals which can easily be found on the internet from
    professional installers. I chose to take the motor face plates off and carefully apply the decals on them!
    Which ever way you choose be sure you clean the surfaces thoroughly with denatured alcohol and
    “take your time” for best results. You may use regular rubbing alcohol if you wish.

    It is very important to make sure the decals and surfaces are at room temperature. For best results
    apply decals at temperatures between 50F – 90F. 60F - 90F is ideal!

    If after installation you have some air bubbles trapped under the decal use a pen to pop them.


  • How long will my decals last?
    All decal materials are rated for a 5-7 year outdoor lifespan. Depending on how well the decals are
    cared for they will out live the motors themselves in some cases.


  • Where and how do you ship?
    We ship both domestic and international via USPS. We ship
    both standard and express methods.



  • Are There Discounts For Buying multiple Items?
    We offer FREE STANDARD SHIPPING for domestic purchases of 3 or more items!
    International orders of 10 or more items will receive FREE SHIPPING as well.


  • Will you get newer designs?
    Yes, we are working on new designs continuously. If you have a suggestion send us an email!


  • Will these decals fit my motor?
    Due to the vast number of manufacturers we cannot guarantee the motor decals will fit all makes of 2-stroke
    bicycle engines. Purchasing decals for the engine is purely at your discretion. However we found that out of
    the 3 most common styles of engines all hole patterns and facing sizes were the same for both 49cc and
    66-80cc engines. Below is a picture of the styles of motors we have successfully analyzed.





  • Do the engine decals fit the pull start and centrifugal clutch 2-stroke bicycle engines?
    Unfortunately they do not, but you can still get the decals for the gas tank.
