[QUOTE="Further, post: 563360, member: 14352"] I can't speak to that very well, since I've only installed the tank sides, which went well and have stayed on well. And the stuff I "custom cut" for just the top of the bags went well, but I didn't try to "wrap" the corners with the piece I cut. So I didn't have to deal with compound curves. Same with the little piece cut for the bottom of the side covers. The 3 pieces I installed on the lower nose of the fairing were the thicker 3M material that Tankslapper provides for those problem areas. I found that MUCH harder to get on right. It doesn't reposition if you screw it up, 'cause it has an adhesive. It's much harder to stretch into complex curves, even with a hairdryer. And it's a bitch getting any bubbles out. So that's my take on it. Might have a much different opinion if I bought the full multi-piece kit and tried installing the more tricky pieces. Chris [/QUOTE]
