    :hat:So you want some HT-Moto seat and tank pad on your sweet ass:wheel: bike?

    1. Choose your color/s and order from Apexmfg, order enough square inches to cover a little more than you will need.
    2. Take a large piece of packing paper or very thin cardboard.
    3. Lay the paper or thin card board on the surface where the HT-Moto will ultimately fit.
    4. Using a marker draw a slightly over sized outline of the shape.
    5. Cut out your new template.
    6. Trim to fit.
    7. Lay this onto your HT-Moto sheet preferably the back side, using a marker trace the template. The release paper will be a pain to draw on so don't be an overzealous clod when handling as it can easily rub off.
    8. Simply use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the HT-Moto, best to cut a little extra large so you can trim to fit/shape.
    9. Place the HT-Moto on the surface paying attention to indented areas or humps ( :rawk:I said HUMP), when your confident this is where you want it to be.....
    10. Now your ready to start making it semi permanent, we use a very large socket like a 36mm or larger and use it as a roller, working from the inside to outside edge (the PSA requires 15psi to stick properly), always work from depressed areas first.

    If you have an air bubble that will not roll out, use an exacto knife to lightly poke a hole to release the air when rolling.
    Look for a demo video soon:cheers:

    Only missing one thing be aware of the pattern of the ht.
    for tanks sides cut one pattern and reverse it for the second side
    if done right it will be awsome

    Could you strip the foam from a stock seat and wrap the plastic part of said stock seat with the HTM foam?

    Yes.

    That is covered in HT-Moto 101, which has yet to be released.

    We did this with Draik's ninja 250 seat. It has worked great and has held up for 2 full seasons. The foam is still in great shape and despite being the blue/white camo, cleans up great and looks nearly new.

    Think I may remove my Stomp Grips in favor of HT-Moto, once removed I can use them as templates!

    That is a top notch wrap job!

    Don't plan on it... Take a template of your Stomp Grip before you remove it. Once they are off the bike they stretch and deform quite easily, hard to get a true shape from them.

    Its rather easy to make a template from wax paper from your kitchen, since you can see through it it makes it easy to trace a good outline....

    Don't let your dreams be crushed.:cheers:
