Snake Skin treatment

[perohijo]

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.

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.

Have had them on my 13 F6B for 5+ years and they still look new.

Thanks! I've had it since new back in '06, and it's a nice tradeoff to the B!

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.

Looks great. Where are the black valve covers from. And where Did you get the bra and side pieces from? Thanks

[dalebratton]

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.

[Draxsr]

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 (https://www.rivcoproducts.com/shop/honda-goldwing/highway-pegs-honda-goldwing/gl18003bk-for-honda-gl1800-gold-wing-honda-f6b-and-honda-gl1800c-valkyrie/).

I want this but $80 seems so high for what it is. At $40 i would buy. I am probably just a cheap bastard.

Agreed.
Oh, I mean the $40.00 part.

[zeus661]

What all is involved to apply those?

Peel off backing.
Stick on.

[Draxsr]

Applying them in warmer weather is a plus too. If they're too cold, they don't wrap as easily.

[jm21ddd15]

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!
