I wish you look if you decide to apply/install the wheel stripes, you will need it.i'm going to try to remove my botched (crooked) application tonight after work. wish me luck!ordered some replacement ones and will try to stick these on next week. didn't know applying a sticker could be so difficult... :lol:
Tank pad photos wanted- FZ6R - Raven
- Thread starter JoshF
- Start date
Got the same tank protector, didn't apply it yet. Was is difficult?
not too difficult... but, i did goof the first time around...
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.
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.

+1!
I just ordered mine from there last week, getting the pad before the bike... (should be here today or tomorrow)
it's the fast as hell hot pink
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!)
