The backgrounds in this listing are for the XR250R and XR400R 1996 to 2004. I have headlight and side cover backgrounds for all the XL XR range of bikes.

You will receive a set of backgrounds for the left and right side-panels and one for the front headlight panel (message me with what colour you'd like).

I post these ones in a postal tube.

Applying backgrounds to your headlamp surround and side panels

Read instructions twice

Need:- washing up bowl, water, washing up liquid, hair dryer and patience (take your time!)

Take your side panel off your bike.

Fill a third of your washing up bowl with water and a little squirt of washing up liquid (the stuff you wash your dishes with), mix it up.This allows the background to slide on the side panel and helps you.

Use your hand and drip some of the liquid all over your sidepanel.

Put the background sticky side down into the bowl so it's wet.

Take background and with wet hands place roughly in position.

Start from the middle outwards and using your thumb, finger, heel of your hand gently push, spread the liquid, bubbles out to the edges.Keep checking the overall position of the background.

If need to, you can peel back and add more liquid.

When you’re happy with the overall position, use a hairdryer (not too close in any one spot and not on hottest setting), dry out the background whilst still using your thumb, finger, heel of hand to flatten out bubbles, push out any remaining liquid.

When the background is completely dry and stuck you can use a pin to prick any stubborn bubbles and use your thumb, finger to force the air out and flatten it.

The curved panels are slightly harder to do but not impossible if you take your time.
