Tank Protection Stickers

Hi All,

New to the site and although I am going through my Mod 1 and Mod 2 I have actually already bought my 2009 Street Triple

As I spend each day going out and staring at it lovingly, I have started looking at what I might want to do to it to improve/ clean up ready for me to ride as soon as I pass my test (4th Sept hopefully)

So I have purchased and installed the Hawk X50 Alarm... What I would like to know though is???

When I remove the seat, around the point where the seat meets the petrol tank there are 3 strips of tape about 1cm wide and 8cm long. These have discoloured as its a white bike and I would like to replace them.

Firstly are they required? Secondly do you thin the previous owner has just cut them himself... as I can seem to find them on the web anywhere?

Help appreciated as always

I have managed to pull these from the video I took. You will see the yellowed stickers behind the tank pads and along the edge of the seat.

 

Thats what I thought, I can't imagine that the soft seat would damage the tank anyway. I might just remove and see how it goes. Thanks

 

Ok I guess I'm just going to have to find some of this damn tape again lol

And put it on a little neater

 

Yes I thought that would be the case. I had the same issue on my my White Alfa car.
