I have a "Pro Grip" I think it's called and it didn't stick worth a damn. Everyone that has one says the same thing. Who makes one that does stick?

My pro grip seems to stick just fine. Did you clean the tank first?
Mine is clear so the whole thing is sticky i don't know if they are all like that.

Yeah it was clean when it was applied but... I have seen soo many other bikes with this same problem, good to hear from someone who's actually works though.

clean tank real good then apply heat with heat gun "lightly " to the tank and pad and smooth it on , i had a couple not stick before but now with the heat they become 1 with the tank , hope this helps

i know a lot of people use the pro-grip ones. but, i like the ones from Mag-Knight. its magnetic so its a snap taking it on and off and its reusable on different bikes. just clean the tank to remove any dirt in the spot where you want it, you can leave the wax on the tank, and use a heat gun or hair dryer to form the pad to the tank. they have different sizes and styles. i went with the medium sized one. it is not too big, but big enough to protect the big and not slide around on me. had great luck with it. its stays where i want it, and its never lifted from the tank. i have taken it on and off a half dozen times since i first put it on and have had no trouble with it. plus Mag-Knight is located in somerville, mass. Help keep the locales employed.
