Tank Protector Question

[domination2727]

So my question is and I know it’s probably a lame one but I got a new tank protector and it’s already fall and since I live in Ohio it’s already pretty chilly here. In what temperature is it safe to adhere a new tank protector? Also any recommendations on how I install the tank protector or things to be careful of? Thank you!

Every tank protector I've purchased has been magnetic. I don't have one on my FZ6.

Most adhesives are safe to use around 70 deg. F. Also important is making sure the area you'll be bonding to is wax/contaminant free. Most suggest using alcohol as a cleaner of the surface you'll be bonding to. Alcohol is generally safe for most automotive paint surfaces.

Depends a bunch on what type / brand protector you have...

I've had see thru ones that are removable and went on with water(as I re-call).



The tank protector I currently have is adhesive based but is removable and can again be re-installed..

Here are my 2 cents... I bought the only one I could find on Amazon. It was nice looking and had the FZ6 logo on it. Problem was, the adhesive was total and complete crap. It started falling off within a week. I then went with an easi-grip pad that I do not regret at all.

Thank you everyone. Got it swapped and it’s held great since then!
