I wish you look if you decide to apply/install the wheel stripes, you will need it.
 
tank protectors take 2...
 
not too difficult... but, i did goof the first time around... :p

so, i followed everyone's suggestion using the hair dryer to warm it up & peel it off. and, indeed, it came right off- clean. there was very little or negligible scuffing to edges of the pad itself from me using my finger nails to peel it off- as u can see in the pix. so, i just re-applied the same pad back on better the 2nd time... :)

i suggest doing the top section first, and then doing the bottom one. position the top edge first, then gradually press down from the top to the bottom to smooth out/ remove the air to make it stick on. keep a hair dryer handy just in case u make a mistake, and you can start over easily... no big deal.

if u really want to be anal, u can even cut around the wax paper before u peel it off to gauge the location where u want to place it. but, i was too lazy to do that. :p

also, when u reheat the pad with the hair dryer, keep the dryer a couple inches off the pad, and remember to use quick short motions over the pad- so as not to overheat any one area. this way it gradually heats up evenly and won't damage the pad.

it's pretty easy and kinda fun too.. share some pix when u r done. :)
 
Here's mine :D

Bike is gonna be the white and black with magenta tribal striping so it should look really great.
Com'on May 8th (that's when I pick her up. BTW I'm calling her Zen!)
 
So, here's what the tank pad looks like on....

matches the coloring on the bike to a T!!!
