What are you guys using???

In my case the dealer put the the one from the old F4 on my tank but that one wouldn't stick at the edges. He than suggested the one from the brutale. That one doesn't fit at all. While removing the first one the paint came off the tank so beware what you use!

Really, really. The tank will be replaced under warranty though...

Wow, thats a bummer! For applying and removing tank pads, it is a good way to heat the tank with a hair dryer. Plus warm they are more flexible for placing them and also better for removing them.

I can tell you: That paint came of so easily it was like it never stuck in the first place... That tank pad however stuck really well (except for the corners)

Plastic tanks don't normally like their paint too much

I've got a 2010 F4 on order - what colour tank pad will I go for. The bikes Titanium/silver and the tank pad choices are red or black. I'm thinking red but might it be too much?

 

[mv2envy]

Either will do, there is more red on the bike than black......

 

[skonda]

I'd go with RED

How was the tank pad adhered to the tank was it super glue, the paint should not have come off,mate I would be devistated,sorry to hear that,Mitch.

I got a black one for the 2010 model from evolution bike. Skinnier than the older model ones are.

Also the ventureshield kit covers that part of the tank as well.

if your in the uk then i can put you in touch with someone who will do the whole bike in the paint protection film, had mine used as the template bike to make the template and had it fully covered.
can see the edges sometimes if your not careful when polishing but its better than having chips and scratches!

Hi.

I use the newer version of MV Corse tank pad.
The same version that comes in Frecce Tricolori.
