Do you know what film they used to make the decals? Look at the backing paper what does it say? Does it have any name or numbers on it?
Once I know the film I can give you some direction on how to apply them. May be good to take a photo of the backing paper and post it.

HAI sells good stuff, at least for the stunt world. It's where I've got my initial setups. Good luck on the install or pay someone in a wrap shop $50 under the table after work to do it, imo.

Check out my build I have the same graphics. It took the typical: lightly soapy water on the back of the decals and the plastics, a blow dryer, something to help flatten and work out wrinkles/bubbles while simultaneously blow drying and most important: PATIENCE. The shrouds are always the most difficult.

I used to apply vinyl to police cars and we would use baby shampoo mixed with water with a little rubbing alcohol. Mix it in a spray bottle and spray it on the clean surface and squeegee over the top to remove all the air bubbles.

I just use Windex. It evaporates fast and leaves no soapy residue.

If the film you are applying has an air-release adhesive then you would not want to apply the kit wet.
What does the backing paper say?

Sorry to hear this. I would love to buy some cool graphics but I already know I would end up with a big ball of sticky vinyl and still be looking at a stock bike.

view it in Google Chrome (download it if you don't have the app...better than Safari), then request the desktop site and click the photo button

What you need to look for in a graphics supplier is the type of film they are using to produce the kit.
It's best to ask questions before you purchase the kit to be sure they are using a quality film and if possible one that has an air-release quality to it.

What to look for:
Air- release adhesive
Cast film rather than Calendered
Sheet laminate for added protection and durability (subsurface image)
Pre-cut panels for easy fitment.
If they do not know the type of film they are using ask them to read you what it says on the backing paper of the film.

I would be happy to help so just send us an email with any questions you have.

these techniques may help.
