The Hornet Stings. Make Sure Your Tank Doesn’t.

The Honda CB500 Hornet is the naked roadster that punches well above its displacement — sharp handling, aggressive styling, and a riding position that keeps you connected to the machine. Every ride puts contact pressure on the tank: knees locked in through corners, gear pressing against the bodywork, daily riding wear adding up over time. This 17-piece 6D carbon tank pad set is laser-cut specifically for the CB500 Hornet (2025), covering every high-contact zone with premium non-slip grip and scratch protection. Protect the sting. Keep it sharp.

Why 6D Carbon — Not 3D, Not 5D

Grippatch uses genuine 6D carbon foil — a multi-layer structured foil with an additional lens layer that creates real depth, mirror-like gloss, and a finish that holds its look for years. No yellowing. No peeling. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

3M MP 468 — The Adhesive That Doesn’t Quit

Industrial-grade 3M MP 468 adhesive holds through heat, vibration, rain, and fuel exposure. When it’s time to remove it, it comes off clean — no residue, no paint damage.

Non-Slip Gel Surface — Control at Every Corner

The gel-backed non-slip surface keeps your knees anchored to the tank through every corner and under hard braking. The center pad prevents forward sliding during deceleration. On a naked bike like the CB500 Hornet, that direct connection between rider and machine is everything — this set makes sure it’s never compromised.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry before application. Any oil, dust, or dirt residue may reduce adhesion performance. If necessary, clean with isopropyl alcohol or a suitable cleaner and allow to dry fully.
2. Positioning: Before peeling the backing, position each piece on the surface to confirm correct size and orientation. Incorrect positioning may extend adjustment time or risk damage to the pad.
3. Application: Peel off the protective backing gradually and press each piece onto the surface section by section. This ensures even and consistent adhesion across the entire pad.
4. Air Bubble Removal: Apply firm pressure from the center outward to secure each piece to the surface. This technique prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion.
