I used a garden spray bottle with washing up liquid and water in sprayed tank and put them on using spray to move them about to where I wanted them. Get a pic of how they should be and use that as a ref as you are doing it. Have kithen roll ready for when you have got them right to dry by dabing so you dont move them again.

DON'T DO IT! There's a really good guide here: www.bike-stickers.com/homepage.htmThey dont use the wet method on the tank. Just dry with a bit of heat and loads of patience. I tried and failed too many compound curves. They told me that the KR decals on an LC tank are the hardest ones in the world to put on. Leave it to an expert.

Can't see it being that difficult. Not done kr on an lc but my N2 decals were over the curve of the tank and into the knee cut out and worked fine with the soapy water method ( one drop of washing up liquid in sprayer) Just work slowly with your thumbs till it fits, can be time consuming but be patient and eventually works.
I thought the Lc2 ones were worse as they curve away in all directions. Done 3 of them, 2 dry and 1 wet, and wet one was easiest.

ive done over 50 bikes wet and personaly i feel its the easiest way ,i know many profesionals do apply them with the dry method and it is faster but i would be very worried about melting them with the heat gun and atleast with the wet method you can slide the decals round for ages untill your 100% happy.
just my 2 cents worth ,hope it helps
