Hi guys, I just wanted to share some pics of my bike after adding Snake Skin pads on the tank. I think it looks great. What do you think?

I have those on the side of the tank on my FJR, and love them.
Looks good, where did you get them?
Very nice!
will they last? I have noticed the sides of my tank are showing some scuffing if you get the light right
I've had them on my FJR for over a decade. They are shrinking very slightly, so you can see the edge of the adhesive section, but like I said, they've been on for over 10 years. This pic was taken last June.

I think my bike is just right about where I want it and except for LED lights and minor mods, I think is good but....we'll see!

Thanks for the Idea, and locating the Snake Skins! I ordered, and have received them already. My Matt gray paint was worn to a "high polished " appearance, where my knees had rubbed on the plastic fake tank. This should cover that shine up, perfectly!
I have had them on mine since new. Going on 4 years now. Still look new!
I’m digging the VTX in the back. Accutronix forward controls? I had them on my 1300C. Very nice.
Dude...those look great and functional, too!
Hey...if you dont mind a suggestion...check out a mini garage door opener. lots of places on the dashboard to place it w/ double sided foam tape. I put mine on the recess just to the left of the tach.
I did the same using stick-on velcro on the underside of my left cubby door.
I think the valve covers are the Aeropeg's from Rivco.
I want this but $80 seems so high for what it is. At $40 i would buy. I am probably just a cheap bastard.
What all is involved to apply those?
Applying them in warmer weather is a plus too. If they're too cold, they don't wrap as easily.
Instructions are in the package. Clean the surfaces with an alcohol wipe. Place the Snakeskin where you want it, mark the spot lightly with a pencil, or some type marker that will be easy to remove. I used blue painters tape, to outline where I wanted it. Then you can check all around, both sides, for uniformity. Peel off the back, and stick in place. And yes, as Draxsr says, the warmer the better!
