Leaning towards buying a set of this for the gas tank after searching and reading.
For you guys who been using this product for awhile, are you still happy with it?
Thanks

30k+ and they are still holding up very well. First thing I put on mine. I put them on all my bikes.

very happy with mine, only used the sides and not the tank one. already had the 3m clear film installed on the center tank.
i knee pass the bike all day on the weekends turning and they have held up great. no regrets for me.

i went with the snake skin, the c3 felt like a squishy flip flop on the sample they sent me.

They protect the bike, improve grip of your knees on the bike and hence control over it while cornering, isolate you a little bit more from the heat and vibrations, look good, and don't cost an arm and a leg.

Anybody have issue with them abrading the inside of the knees of leathers/pants?  I had bedliner on the tank of my race bike and it did a number on the knees of my leathers.  Mostly cosmetic, but something I worry about with higher friction stuff on the sides of a tank.  Anyone?

Actually the opposite, I get a bit of black dust from the rubber on my jeans and riding pants.

Never noticed any abrasion or residue on my overpants or jeans.
