Maybe you can clarify what a gas tank pad is?

 

[Ron2andia]

The pad that stops your belt buckle from scratching the paint... That's what I have seen them called at store.. Is there another name?:dontknow:

I used clear vinyl

I have a strip of clear vinyl on my tank in front of the seat. It's been on for over a year and no signs of wear or peeling.

There's a picture of it somewhere here in the F3 forum in a different thread on this topic.

Do you think the ones made for bikes look right or too small?

I think Lamonster have one in the Motorcycle the his wife and look very nice. But I don't know if is a product he sell.

Vinyal glue to the tank

What type of glue did you use for adhesive for keeping the clear vinyl adhered to your tank???

Pads

Go to a motorcycle shop, most of the sport bike guys run them. They have different designs, good luck.

no glue -- my dealer took it to their vinyl guy and he put it on -- it's just a simple piece of self-adhesive vinyl. We have a lot of places around here that advertise "clear bras" for cars -- that would work depending on what they're using (not so sure about spray on stuff).

I bought a product called Xpel, they are out of San Antonio, TX. I installed mine on the sides so my legs did not rub and it can be installed anywhere and was fairly easy to put on.

Put me on the list for the dash kit material tank protector. This was the 1st thing I thought of after putting on the dash kit.

I have the spyder wraps tank protector too, but does not help where its needed which is where your thighs coming in contact with the F3. I have notice when riding a small stone will get flipped up and get lodged between your leg and the F3 and will make a little ware spot. I could not figure out what was causing this but every once in a while when I get off the F3 there will be a couple of small stones in the set. So this is how I determined what was going on.
