Dawn dish soap (regular blue stuff), is good for this sort of surface prep as well. It's a strong surfactant and will emulsify any oils so they can be removed easily. Probably not as convenient as Windex, but likely works better.

I have the Techspec tank wrap on my r6 and so far I really like it

I have Tec Spec Snack Skin on my 2012 R1 and I love it. Looks bad ass too.

***** I just rode this with SportbikeTrackTime at Grattan Raceway in MI last weekend. This is the first time I used this on the track and have to say I really liked it. The grip was just right. - Van

Hi there, I have a 2018 R6, would tank pads affect the paint when you’re ready to remove them? Like peel the paint, or have a different color tint due to not getting fade from the sun? Thank you!

I have not experienced any paint fade issues from using the tank pads. Removing them is pretty easy and will not damage the factory paint. - Van

excellent video, I bought these but the adhesive didn't fully catch on the tank on the edges, I haven't ridden the bike (Storing it for now) Any tips on how I can get these edges to glue to the tank please?

Just apply consistent pressure and give the heat gun a try! Thanks for watching!

Hey Brian what do you recommend to protect the swing arm on a 2015 r1 I noticed some scuffs on my bike from my heel of the boot

The summer heat made the part that attaches to the plastic start to peel. It took 1500 miles before it happened, but I took them off. I did not pre-heat on installation. Could that be the problem? The rest of the grips on the tank are fine.

Hey there! Sorry to hear about your tank grip. Pre-heating is essential for exactly this reason, it allows the adhesive to truly bond with the plastic. Fortunately you may still be able to heat the pads and attach them again. Thanks for reaching out!

Let's say i want to reinstall these on my bike, can it be done? And how?

Afrorider Motovlogs Per Techspec you can do this, the kit includes instructions which explain how to. The only time I could see myself removing and reinstalling this would be if I crashed, damaged the tank and felt the kit was in good enough shape to be installed on a new tank. - Van

Sportbike Track Gear Thanks Mr Van! Bought mine a little while from you guys, I just feel like I need it to be a little higher. But ill keep it the way it is since it looks like it will be a pain in the butt to reinstall
