Real Carbon Depth. Real Grip. Built for the R 1250 GS Adventure Side Tank.

The side tank surfaces of the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure are where your inner legs make contact on every corner, every kilometer. This precision-cut 6D carbon side tank pad is designed specifically for the R 1250 GS Adventure (2021), reinforcing grip exactly where your legs meet the tank — so you stay connected to the bike through every lean, every curve, and every long-distance stretch.

What Makes 6D Carbon Foil Different?

Not all carbon finishes are equal. The market offers 3D, 5D, and 6D carbon foils — and 6D sits at the top. An additional lens layer bonded over the carbon pattern creates extraordinary depth and a mirror-like gloss that closely resembles real carbon fiber. No yellowing, no peeling — backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

3M MP 468 Adhesive Technology

Backed with 3M MP 468 adhesive — an industrial-grade bonding solution that holds firmly through heat, vibration, rain, and fuel exposure. Applied via advanced transfer film technology for a bubble-free, seamless finish. Removes cleanly without leaving residue or damaging your paint.

Side Grip — Engineered for Cornering

The soft gel-backed non-slip surface is positioned at the inner leg contact zones on the side tank. During cornering, it counteracts centrifugal force by keeping your legs firmly anchored to the tank — improving balance, reducing fatigue, and giving you a more confident, controlled riding feel. Especially effective on long-distance rides where sustained leg contact matters.

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 the pad 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 the pad 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 the pad to the surface. This technique prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion.
