Looks ok, and the original decals had a bit of variation in them, one of the side emblems on on an original side panel of NHK is squint. Individual letters could be tricky, is there not low tack positioning paper with them? I think another awkward bit on these later schemes, may be aligning the central pin stripe, between the tank and the side panel? That jobs best done on the bike Thanks Terry

I went front to back but I wet them down first with soapy water (sticky side ) it stops them sticking straight away and you can slide them about till you're happy with the placing then squeegee the water out with a piece of soft plastic (must have rounded edges so as not to scratch the decal ) once the waters out the sticker will be stuck in place did'nt turn out too bad when I did my NC

Looks good. I find decal application quite a stressful job.

Yes lacquer, I've got an NA tank to do, the weather has been good this week, but the temperature has not. still waiting on decals anyway...(been using this recently, .https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ProXL-2K-Clear-Lacquer-Aerosol-for-Motorbike-Cars-Petrol-Resistant-200ml/173938341611 as it's a smaller can less wastage). I did do a swing arm and various brackets when it got up to a balmy 9C earlier in the week. Preserve nature applied, before or after???
