Premium Member cornerslider Posted April 26, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 I have a 2016 FZ-07 track-bike with "Tech-Spec" tank grippers- LOVE them!!!! I recently acquired a 2016 R3 for my wife to use at the track... The "Tech-Spec" tank grippers on her R3 are starting to peel off the tank. I've tried a couple different methods of re-glueing them, with little success. Anybody here have any "secret stuff" for getting them to stick again??? Any help would be appreciated, thanks- ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatt Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 3m super 77 is awesome but a pain if you want to remove Get your MT07 & FZ07 racing parts at https://www.robemengineering.com/fz-07-products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted April 26, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 I had peeled mine off a few weeks ago and just reinstalled them this week. On mine the original adhesive was still in tact, I heated them with a heat gun until they became really flexible. The adhesive became really tacky again and the soft rubber conformed and stuck better than they originally did when first installed. So maybe try heat. 3m Super 77 will hold them on too, but like Spatt said, it’s hard to remove. 3m make a less aggressive reposition-able adhesive, I forget the number.

mossrider Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I use 3M high strength 90 when I don't want something to let go. Last seat pad took the paint off with it, oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I used a few strips of 3m automotive moulding tape on mine last year - still holding strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed This seems like the best/FREE option. I already have a heat gun - I'm gonna give it a go!
