I have not installed actual trials bike manufacturer graphics, but I assume they already have glue on the backside of the graphics. So I would suggest cleaning the plastics with a real good rubbing alcohol wipe down to remove anything that may be on the plastic.

Hope this helps, it's all I got.
To ride trials effectively one must be focused and OH LOOK A SQUIRREL!!!

I use acetone for cleaning plastic and then lightly coat the graphic with 3M adhesive spray (found at most hardware store retailers). Let it dry for a minute before applying. Keep pressing on the "hard to stick" areas and the adhesive should set. Don't worry about any adhesive overspray on your graphics, as it will wipe off with the acetone or break cleaner.

Using a heat gun helps the graphic take the shape of the plastic as well. I have a bit of a sticker addiction and my heat gun is an enabler to that. :)
