The Oxford Silicone Tank Grip Knee Pads are designed for motorcycle riders seeking enhanced grip and protection for their bike's paintwork. They offer a secure hold during riding, reducing fatigue and improving control, while the durable silicone material shields the tank from scuffs and scratches. A potential caveat is the need for precise application to ensure optimal adhesion and coverage.

The grips are designed for broad compatibility and include pre-moulded cut lines to allow for customization to fit most motorcycle tank shapes. However, always check dimensions if you have an unusually shaped tank.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the silicone or adhesive.
It is not recommended to reposition the grips once they are firmly applied, as this can damage the adhesive and affect the bond. Proper alignment during initial application is crucial.
While the 3M adhesive is strong, some residue may be left upon removal. Using a heat source (like a hairdryer) during removal and a dedicated adhesive remover can help minimize this.
Yes, the Oxford Silicone Tank Grips are resistant to oil, chemicals, and common automotive fluids, including gasoline.
With proper application and care, the top-quality 3M adhesive is designed for long-term durability, often lasting the lifetime of the motorcycle or until intentionally removed.
The grips come with pre-moulded cut lines that allow you to trim them to a size that best suits your specific motorcycle's tank shape for an optimal fit.
Ensure the tank surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply heat gently with a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive, then press firmly. Ensure no wax or polish was present on the tank surface.
Carefully lift the affected area of the grip (if possible before full cure) and reapply pressure, smoothing outwards. If already cured, minor bubbles may not affect performance, but significant ones might require reapplication.
The silicone is designed for grip in most conditions. Ensure the grips and riding gear are clean, as oil or dirt can reduce effectiveness. The primary function is mechanical grip against the tank, not water displacement.
Gently heat the grip with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive. Slowly and carefully peel the grip back at a low angle. If residue remains, use a dedicated adhesive remover, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Setup: Ensure the motorcycle's tank surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or wax before application. Use a degreaser if necessary, and allow the surface to dry completely. Carefully peel back the backing from the 3M adhesive on one part of the grip, aligning it with the tank. Gently press the grip onto the tank, working from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles. If necessary, use the pre-moulded cut lines to trim the grips for a perfect fit. It is recommended to allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before riding.
Compatibility: These grips are designed to be compatible with most motorcycle fuel tanks. However, due to variations in tank designs, users may need to utilize the cut lines for a custom fit. Always check the dimensions against your specific motorcycle model if unsure.
Care: Clean the grips with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh solvents, abrasive cleaners, or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the silicone or compromise the adhesive. For stubborn dirt, a non-abrasive brush can be used gently.
