I picked up some carbon under tank panels from MDI Carbon, how the heck do you put these things on? |

I was looking at those and I believe it said to use double faced tape or you have to drill holes? |

They didn't come with any instructions so I'm not sure. Double sided tape would probably work though. |

If you use Sicaflex the one for boats, it will hold it really firm, I made a piece of flexible plastic sticker it with Sicaflex, and it is hold really strong. |

Sikaflex looks great, they make a ton of different stuff! I'll have to look at how it differs from the automotive stuff they make for heat resistance. |

The panels are from MDI Carbon, about a hundred bucks. |

3M ultra high temp adhesive tape is available locally and good up to 550 degrees. I'll try that out while my sikaflex is shipping. |

I usually use a small drill bit in a dremel to drill the holes. Then enlarge them with a Chamfer tool. I also sell a frame plug with the needed bolts which makes it and easy install. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Buell-X1-Lightning-frame-plu g-KIT-for-mounting-tank-fillers-BLACK-hardware-/14 2427043297?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE |

That's a handy kit, mine only has that big hole on 1 side of the frame though. |

Take lots of pics of your install, I'd like to see how you do the drilling. |
