I need to remove the big plastic pad from the rear of an SSie Tank Item 16 below: I'm assuming it's just stuck on with double sided tape? Is there anything ugly underneath that would prevent me from using the tank on a project without the pad? Thanks Nasher.
If you look at the back of the tank there is a big lug that sticks out, this one has been repainted but when taken off there is a lot of sticky crap that the pad is stuck down with. This might help too. https://www.ducati.ms/threads/modifying-ss-fuel-tank.310041/
Thanks Wayne. The tank will need a respray anyway, as there will be other work done to it, but now I know I'll need to grind that lug off and fill the hole as well. I'll probably be using a thin tank protector anyway which will cover any blemish that shows through the new paint. Nasher.
I was going to do mine a few years back but in the end i just couldn't be bothered. I have seen quite a few ie tank mods and some are really good and i think worth the effort if done right!
