Gen 4 tank pads

I'm just wondering what tank pads you've gone for with your Gen4s, specifically M Sport models. I need to get some inspiration so I'd appreciate pics!

I?ve asked this question at my dealer and bmw haven?t done one. Gonna see how well my venture shield will cover it for short term and maybe see what?s on eBay

I use R&G



Most people in the paddock prefer these:

ive just got venture shield and it seems to work ok. get a picture later.

They HADN'T done one. There is now one listed in the 2020 accessories brochure, page 42 (wasn't there in 2019). It's all black with an M logo in the corner

Checked online pdf and can?t see it there?

I had a spare black BMW Motorrad one from my Gen 3, I've stuck that on for now and looks decent as it did on my Gen 3.

I think that your dealer is a little ill-informed. I have one fitted, and purchased it from Sycamore Motorrad. ?43

?43 for that. dosnt even look right to me, there no gloss black on the whole bike is there. might look ok in white.

But this is what is advertised and sold as the M-Sport pad. I think it is expensive, but considerably easier to fit that the Venture shield.

think this looks a lot neater. the rear of tank and sides by knees are covered.

This looks a lot neater that I thought it was going to be....

I have the Gen3 kit ready to fit.
Any tips? Just a case of using loads of liquid to get it mounted in the right place?
Do you warm the tank/film?

- Alex

make sure you use the little bottle of spray that comes with kit, wash hands many times and clean surfaces off. as you peel off backing spray the sticky side of the film as you peel it as well as the surface its going on, keep fingers wet until your sqidying. a warm day or workshop is best and use hair drier to soften the film. if its not going to plan it will usually just pull back off with a yank if its not been squeezed on. if you get little bubbles just pull it back off and spray again, this can be done over and over again. i usually start with a small piece to get into the swing of things.

i didnt do this tank in pic myself as had it fit at BMW but have done many myself.
