After!! give it some time tho. I wouldn't apply it after a fresh wax job.

TnNinjaGirl · April 29th, 2009, 05:51 PM

I'd put some dewaxer/degreaser on that area, apply it, then rewax it. A professional painter told me that. I did it, it works and hasn't raised as of yet.

This sounds right.
So use the dewaxer.
Apply tank pad.
Rewax the area.

What works for dewaxer?

I just want to get this right cause I spent like 25 on this tank pad and I dont want it peeling up on me after a month and I've never applied a tank pad before.ya know

Buffalony · May 3rd, 2009, 07:29 AM

Thanks guys. I ended up just washing it real well with (Green)Dawn and hot water. I'll let ya's know how it holds up.

Gave Wasabi some back bone. More pics in my folder

Jiu Jitsu Player · May 5th, 2009, 03:51 PM

The closest one to stock height is the double bubble, but the shape of the windscreen is a lot more rounded. The sport touring one is a lot higher than the DB.I think there is a DIY thread on a double bubble install and there is a shot comparing the double to the stocker.

LOL

"How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?"

I always forget about Zoolander. Fun flick for those with an easy sense of humor.

thsadmin · May 6th, 2009, 12:31 AM

Here's mine :

I think it's an average eBay issues and cut to fit ...

Ninja007 · May 6th, 2009, 11:00 AM

acutally I have a Zero Gravity SR light smoke windscreen. it's the exact same height as the stocker, just smoked. the DB was too tall for me liking. made the bike had funny proportions. I don't go on the highway much, so it's perfect for me.

ManyCavies · May 12th, 2009, 02:07 PM

So I finally decided to go with a tank pad instead of a tank bag

and a picture of the Yoshi decal I got for my Bday

I also got the new ninja stickers on

I still have a little more to do.

What does everyone think?

Green & Pink, I never would have imagined such a color scheme lol. Good work!

kkim · May 12th, 2009, 02:14 PM

green w/ pink goes well together... early nineties kx bikes.

where did you get the "ninja" sticker from? I've been wanting to change mine, too, but want to change the tank decal also.

My oldest daughter came up with it. Her hair has been green and pink. I stole the bike from her. She is the one who named her "Yoshi"

I got it from Fast Decal
http://www.fastdecals.com/
They shipped very fast but no instructions on how to remove old ninja sticker, but I found that a hairdryer worked great. No sticky stuff left behind.

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 13th, 2009, 04:03 PM

here is my tank pad....

Autobots, transform and roll out!!

Rocketman · May 13th, 2009, 04:05 PM

terrible.

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 13th, 2009, 04:08 PM

awwww why is that terrible?

Rocketman · May 13th, 2009, 04:09 PM

haha...I'm just busting your chops because I'm not a big fan of all of you guys that put those stickers on your vehicles, Too each his own.

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 13th, 2009, 04:10 PM

Ouch they hurt!

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 13th, 2009, 04:11 PM

but ya, $12 tank pad vs. $300 paint job = flawless victory

gizmogamez · May 14th, 2009, 07:35 AM

WHAT? $12??? I paid $18!!!!! Totally not worth it at that price. lol

I put my tank pad on the second day I had the bike...a good rub with a microfibre cloth to get any dust off and so far the pad sticks great.

dmonaco05 · May 14th, 2009, 07:06 PM

is that autobot one really a tank pad or just a decal/sticker? if so where did u get it cus thats awesome?

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 14th, 2009, 07:15 PM

its just a decal but it works just the same. i didn't want to get what everyone else had.....

paterick4o8 · May 14th, 2009, 09:56 PM

it's a cool idea, but i think there are cooler decals out there

i think it looks kinda too wide

B2FiNiTY · May 17th, 2009, 11:38 PM

here's my ricer decal. it was pretty expensive but i wanted something different.

HA-Y-N NINJA · May 18th, 2009, 07:09 AM
