Benefits of Having a Tank Pad Tank pads or tank protectors prevents damages such as scuff marks and paint chips from occurring on the tank of your motorcycle. Common ways these damages happen is from your belt buckle or zipper. Imagine your body position on your motorcycle and how the metal objects you’re wearing around your abdominal or hip region of your body are constantly rubbing or making contact with your tank. That’s like cutting meat with the same knife for years and expecting the knife to stay the same. No, it’s going wear down and the sharpness is going to deteriorate. Same with your tank. The constant contact is going to wear the paint out. Another benefit of having a tank pad is that you have better grip and control, which prevents you from sliding on your motorcycle. Prevents Damages Unless you like to show off the battle scars on your bike, there is no better feeling than the peace of mind a tank pad provides for the paint job on your motorcycle. High resolution printing We print stickers at 1440 dpi. That means we can easily match every color and print even the most complex designs. Even highly detailed images always come out awesome. Extra thick vinyl We called a list of material vendors, including some large paper companies, and asked them a simple question: what's the best quality vinyl material we could use for custom stickers? Inevitably, we decided on an extra thick 6 mil vinyl. It provides a great look and feel and lays down nice. Combined with a sturdy paper backing and protective laminate, our Tankpads are made from the best materials you'll find. Strong adhesive We know that a sticker is only as good as its adhesive. Like the vinyl we use, we set out to find the best quality adhesive. All of our stickers have a very strong adhesive that still keeps the surface intact if it needs to be removed.
