I can find out for you tomarrow if thats not to late. I work with a guy that customizes bikes on the side.
 
i want to have it done by the end of the month because i am putting it in the puerto rican parade on the 31st....
 
grab a spray bottle and a squegee spreader. use a really LOW soap to water solution ratio. spray the area down. apply the decals. position to where you want it. squegee any air bubbles out, working from the inside of the decal outward.

you da man homie
 
My buddy mentioned to be sure you get all the wax off with something like denatured alcohol and be sure that you don't use any Honda polish (I think he called it that) any time before applying the graphics.

He basicly said the same thing about the squegee and bottle that Star said.
 
Use Windex.

Spray the sticky side of the decal and the place you are going to put it on (make sure that's clean as well). When you have it in the postion you want, wipe out the air bubbles with your hand or a rag.
