Tank Pad adhesive

[SaltLick]

I went into the dealership the other day figuring id just buy a new one, last year they were $29.95 so i went in figuring oh well ill just bite the bend over bullet and get it. I took it to the counter to pay for it (theres no price tag on it) and he said that will be $39.95.  I put it back and walked out. For some reason paying $40 i just couldnt swallow. The fact that the price was raised $10 more than last year pissed me off.  After complaining to my friend about the price, he said something that id never considered. "If you have a problem paying the price for that stuff, looks like you bought the wrong bike" he said.  It got me thinking, these bikes are not for the broke ass bastard such as me. I cant give it up now, cause i love these bikes what i need to do is make more money. Until then, i have to keep coming up with these cheap ass ways of resticking the tank pad on my bike. That or learn how to take them off properly the first time.

that would be great. I went to three autoparts stores yesterday and looked around for any kind of 3M sticky tape but couldnt find it, maybe if i had the part number and name i could write that down and take it with me for them to lookup. Thanks alot.

This is the stuff I used (I've got most of a roll left over in the garage):

3Mâ,,¢ Acrylic Foam Tape 4229P

Thank you. 

That's the tape you want.

Ask Ducpainter how he would prep the paint. I've used alcohol, but I know the guys at the shop use pre packaged felt sticks that have an "activator" that preps the surface, especially on carbon and wood dash kits. I can find out what and where they are but I'm sure somebody will beat me to it.
