How you guys doing this evening?

Sitting on my TT600 looking at my Griso and I see these bubbles under the sticker on my gas tank.
Looked online and cannot find the sticker kit. Guess its free with a new tank.

So, what are your opinions... would you just deal with it? Peel the stickers off all together? Or, what is running thru my head, get some black contact paper and roll my own?

Think I'll click over to Tapeworks site and what they can do. 20190917 195402
 
Mines doing the same thing but my bikes are not garaged.

Might try poking the air bubbles with a pin then using a plastic squeegee smooth the tape.
I've never tried this but I wonder what would happen if after smoothing it you shot it with some hairspray??

If I ever get my shop built then I'm going to pull the tape & do some paint work.

They bubble because of the porous plastic tank and ethanol. The graphics are under the matte clear, so you are quite stuck. They are not available separately, correct. If you plan on keeping your bike or can't stand it, I would first coat the tank with an ethanol resistant product (Caswell), and have the graphics stripped and the tank repainted. Unfortunately that is the only solid solution.
 
Haven't gone after it with a needle, yet.
My old Sprint had the same thing happen. It was deffinitely under the clear coat.

The Griso, sure looks like they're just stickers on top of the paint.

I had a 12 Griso that got a little damage on the tail piece sticker, heat gun and it came right off. Didn't seem to have any sort of clear coat on that part, maybe gas tank is different but it looked the same to me.
 
AF1 Racing offers all the stickers. Look on the PDF parts manual. The tank is also offered, complete, (#88797200Yr2), painted and stickered from the factory from AF1 Racing for $1200. I looked into having my tank repainted. It will cost at least that much for a quality paint job on the tank
