Okay, I wiped down the area I want to install the pads on 3 times with rubbing alcohol, heated up the area and the pad with a heat gun and applied the pads. Come back an hour later and the pads are half hanging off my tank...:angry1:
So, I peel them off and go at the tank with a paint cleaner and again with the rubbing alcohol. Heat the tank and pads again and apply them. This time I take some straps and towels to keep pressure on them. I wanted to ride in today but the instructions say to let them cure for 24 hours before use so my bike is still sitting in the garage at home with the straps holding the pads in place.
We'll see how it goes tonight.
Update: I called the place I bought them from and they're sending me out a new set today free of charge. I'm going to send this set back to them tomorrow.
