Hi

Anyone manage to fit these without air bubbles, I have cleaned tank, heated tank and pads but cant get a smooth finish

About to rip them off but thought I'd check first

They're not air bubbles, that's the grip bit.

I'd leave 'em on and see if the remaining air works it's way out over the weekend.

Actually that's not true, I took the tank pad off because I'd rather have scratches than a random piece of something else.

I wonder if you use water first like we have to put decals on flat panels then we squeegee it flat but the water comes out easier and the glue dries. I dont know for sure with these.

Personally I dont like them and think they spoil a tank. I know I have to polish my tank around the knees a lot but prefer the paint.

Best of luck anyway

What were the instructions to apply them Char. Do you or did you apply kind of bit at a time easing air out as you go or stick the flat on and try to get rid of air.

They actually do look good on the Honda. It may because yours id black it notices more as the plastics translucent .

Its really annoying when you really try to do a good job and never comes out like the pic. All done it and just leave them for a while to see.
Thats why I dont spray stuff and leave that to those who know as I never get the right finish.:grump:
