FAQs
Will this fit a 2014 Panigale?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the 2012-2013 Ducati Panigale 1199 bodywork.
Can I remove the pads later?
Yes, they can be removed by applying light heat from a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, though the adhesive is intended to be permanent.
Does the clear finish yellow over time?
The proprietary rubber blend is designed to be UV-resistant to minimize yellowing, but routine cleaning helps maintain clarity.
Do I need to sand my tank before applying?
Absolutely not. Do not sand your tank; simply clean it thoroughly with an automotive-safe degreaser or isopropyl alcohol.
How long should I wait before riding?
While the bond starts immediately, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive edges lifting
Gently clean the underside with a precision swab dipped in contact cement or re-apply heat and pressure to the edge.
Air bubbles trapped during install
Use a small needle to prick the bubble and press the air out toward the hole.
Pad not sticking to tank
Ensure the tank surface was completely free of wax and silicone; use isopropyl alcohol to re-clean and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, start by thoroughly cleaning the fuel tank with an alcohol-based degreaser to remove all wax or residue. For the best bond, apply in an environment between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Warm the adhesive slightly with a hairdryer before application to increase pliability. Once applied, apply firm pressure across the entire surface to activate the bond. Avoid washing the motorcycle or riding in heavy rain for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure. For cleaning, use mild soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber compound.
