How to attach our soft emblem to motorcycle tanks
Inquiry by email Inquiry by whatsapp
Installing a soft 3D resin emblem on a motorcycle tank is much simpler than traditional chrome badges because you don't have to fight the material’s stiffness. It is essentially a "Peel-and-Stick" process, but to make it look professional and last for years, you should follow this refined 3-step guide.
Why it's easier than Chrome:
-
No Pre-Bending: Unlike hard chrome, which snaps if you try to bend it to fit a tank's curve, soft resin is naturally compliant.
-
Zero Tension: Once applied, the soft emblem doesn't "fight" to pull away from the tank, so the edges stay down.
-
Forgiving: You can gently heat it to make it even more flexible for sharp tank angles.
The Professional "Peel & Stick" Method
1. Surface "Zero-Prep" (Critical)
The most common reason emblems fall off isn't the glue—it's residual wax.
-
Clean: Use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol to wipe the tank. This removes oils, road grime, and waxes that make the tank "too slippery" for the adhesive.
-
Guide: Use a piece of painter's tape to mark a straight line where you want the emblem to sit. Don't guess!
2. The "Center-Out" Press
Instead of sticking one side and pulling it across (which can stretch the resin and create tension), do this:
-
Peel: Remove the backing paper completely.
-
Anchor: Touch only the center of the emblem to the tank first.
-
Massage: Using your thumbs, press firmly from the center outward to the left, then from the center outward to the right.
-
Benefit: This forces all air bubbles out and ensures the edges aren't "pulling" against the adhesive.
