I just watched about a dozen installation videos and yours is by far one of the best. Going to install my set of TechSpec including panniers this weekend on my R1200RT. You did a great job! Thanks for posting.
nice and all .. but you got the pads reversed .. brand mark is suppose to be in the front of the tank :D still the instructions are very nice ty for those
I believe that the ceramic coatings, as well as the wax ones leave a very slick surface and the glue layer of the grip will not likely bond to that very well. If you want a good bond you will need to remove those coatings from the surfaces you are bonding to.
Mine was as well. Those little white logos on my pads ended up going facing the other way. I kept second-guessing myself saying I must be making a mistake but it seems like the pads are different than the ones in the video
Does the adhesive stickyness wear out as time goes by? because you know, they will be exposed to rain, water when cleaning and stuff like that. They will also get dirty, are they hard to clean?
I have been testing the Snake Skin version on our race R1 for a year now and it held up for me. In racing and track riding they do get loaded more than in street riding, and I had them out in wet and dry as well. I give them a thumbs up. Our buddy MizShift had them on his 1000RR for years without issue. As far as cleaning goes I don't ever see a need to do that. They don't really pick up dirt, or at least not visibly.
+raja mangubat If the outside temperature is above 60°F then you should be good. Any regular rubbing alcohol should do the trick, if not, you could give the surface a good cleaning with soap and water before applying the pads.
Yep, hair dryer will work just fine. In most cases a hair dryer can be used instead of a heat gun, it just takes longer. So if you don't have one laying around borrow a hair dryer from your girlfriend or your mother or whoever.
We have used a few different sizes on these bikes in our race program. 110 and 120 fronts, 140, 150, 160 rears. My favorite configuration for most tracks is 120/150 on these bikes. For the street I would say stay with the OE sizing unless you know what you're looking for in tires.
We do not have the MT03 in our market so there is no way for us to verify this but the tank looks pretty much the same as the R3 so it probably will fit.
+HockeyLAKings119 The best explanation I can give you is in this video we shot: th-cam.com/video/qnP-eGQ7CoM/w-d-xo.html . In that video we get into all the details of what this setup is used for. We use these on all our bikes because of how significant the improvement of the control over the bike is while using these.

Video Instructions were on the spot. Another worry free,easy install!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback and we're glad we hear our videos are being used in a positive manner!

Very informative.. thank you..
Off out to fix my pads on!
Great video as always. Can I just use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface?
Sure, that will be fine. Just let it evaporate before you adhere the grips.
nice and all .. but you got the pads reversed .. brand mark is suppose to be in the front of the tank :D still the instructions are very nice ty for those
placing my order now :-)
It looks really cool
Nicely done
Thumbs up
***** Thank you.
I notice on the tech spec video for installation they have the emblem logo pointing towards the handle bars and not where you have it by the seat.
They move the logo around from time to time. Especially early on during R&D stages and early development.
Interesting I wonder why
Does it matter if you have Wax or Ceramic coating on the paint before applying the grips?
I believe that the ceramic coatings, as well as the wax ones leave a very slick surface and the glue layer of the grip will not likely bond to that very well. If you want a good bond you will need to remove those coatings from the surfaces you are bonding to.
@@TSTindustries that was my thinking. Thanks!
Apesar de não entender nada que você falou e gostei muito do produto, quando eu comprar a minha r3 entrarei em contato, melhor eu comprarei de você...
Cleiton Almeida nós estaremos aqui quando estiver pronto
Looks great do you have for Honda NC750X
Sorry,we do not stock them for that bike but we do have some sheets of the material that you can cut your own shape pad out of.
Nice 👍🏻 thank you 😎
I have a 2018 r3 and ordered the right model. Why does my tank pad seem different? Can’t seem to line it up like you
Mine was as well. Those little white logos on my pads ended up going facing the other way. I kept second-guessing myself saying I must be making a mistake but it seems like the pads are different than the ones in the video
Please, guys! You should be able to sell it and send it to Brazil!!! Nice work!!!
Why don't you guys make a template, too?
We can pass this question over to TechSpec USA, the manufacturer, and see what they think about that. We only retail their products.
It's very hard to find denatured alcohol in Canada. What could I use as a substitute? How about rubbing alcohol?
that will work just fine
DISHES On2wheels go to a hardware store for the denatured stuff or any paint supplies or auto parts store
spit works too
And I was on the phone so I could not see the full description. my bad for asking.
+Daniel 9645 no worries

silly question but what was the temp set to on your heat gun?
I usually use low and move it around quickly without dwelling over any area.
Thanks!!!!!
No problem!
hi what will i do if i dont have a heat gun. is a hair dryer will do?
+raja mangubat A hair dryer may work as well or you could leave the bike outside in the sun for a few minutes (If the weather is warm enough).
+TSTindustries i am in a tropical country is that already sufficient? also what is the alternative for denatured alcohol
+raja mangubat If the outside temperature is above 60°F then you should be good. Any regular rubbing alcohol should do the trick, if not, you could give the surface a good cleaning with soap and water before applying the pads.

Amigo quero adquirir um protetor desses como eu faço ? + um inscrito TOP.
Sorry my man...I don't understand Portuguese.
Friend, I want to get a protector like that.
what size of the tires that you are using for front and rear?
We have used a few different sizes on these bikes in our race program. 110 and 120 fronts, 140, 150, 160 rears. My favorite configuration for most tracks is 120/150 on these bikes. For the street I would say stay with the OE sizing unless you know what you're looking for in tires.
thank u for the reply, im gonna order alot of parts from you guys.. more Hp and Godbless
Would this fit my Yamaha MT-03?
We do not have the MT03 in our market so there is no way for us to verify this but the tank looks pretty much the same as the R3 so it probably will fit.
What would these really be needed for?
