Puig Carbon Performance Tank Pad — 4051C carbon-look adhesive protector, flexible fit for sport & touring bikes

Puig 4051C Carbon Performance Tank Pad is a flexible, carbon-look adhesive protector that prevents rider suit abrasion and shields your fuel tank from scratches while preserving the bike’s lines.

Designed to adapt to curved tanks, this tank pad uses a pliable material and a high-bond adhesive so it conforms to many sport and touring motorcycles without lifting or looking bulky. The 4051C delivers the sporty carbon aesthetic while acting as an invisible barrier between zippers or jacket seams and the paint. It comes in carbon finish and other tones to match different styles and is engineered for long-lasting adhesion in road conditions.

Which motorcycles will the Puig 4051C fit?

The 4051C was developed to suit a wide range of modern sport, naked and adventure models by fitting contoured tank areas. Confirm fitment against your model year, as Puig lists compatibility across several makes and model years to ensure a precise match.

• Compatible with many Aprilia models including RS 660, RSV4 and Tuono series (various years).
• Fits multiple BMW models from G310R to S1000RR and large touring K1600 variants (select years).
• Also listed for Ducati Diavel and Hypermotard ranges (specific years).
• Always verify year and edition for exact fit (Factory, RR, Adventure, etc.).

How does this tank pad protect my paint and gear?

The pad forms a sacrificial layer between aggressive contact points—zippers, belt buckles and seam edges—and the painted surface. Its flexible substrate reduces friction and disperses abrasion across the pad instead of the clearcoat.

• Slick surface minimizes repeated rubbing damage from riding gear.
• Durable carbon-look top resists scuffs while hiding wear.
• High-end adhesive keeps edges flush to prevent lifting and dirt ingress.
• Thin profile maintains tank shape and rider comfort.

Is installation difficult and what should I prepare?

Applying the 4051C is straightforward if you prepare the surface and work carefully: clean, dry and de-grease the tank area, then align and apply with steady pressure. Avoid extreme temperatures during fitting for best adhesive performance.

• Clean the tank with isopropyl alcohol or a recommended cleaner first.
• Test-fit before peeling adhesive backing to ensure correct placement.
• Use a soft cloth or squeegee to apply pressure and remove air pockets.
• Allow adhesive cure time before exposing to heavy weather or washes.

What finishes are available and how will they change the look?

The 4051C is available in a true carbon-look option plus silver, gray and transparent versions to suit different paint schemes and owner preferences. Choose carbon for a performance-oriented appearance or transparent if you want protection without altering the tank’s color.

• Carbon finish adds a textured, sporty graphic without extra bulk.
• Silver and gray options complement lighter or metallic paint tones.
• Transparent preserves the original paint and visible badges beneath.
• All finishes retain the slim, low-profile silhouette on the tank.

Who is this for: The Puig 4051C Carbon Performance Tank Pad is ideal for riders who want durable protection with a refined, sporty look—track-day enthusiasts, daily commuters with leather or textile gear, and touring riders seeking to preserve resale value. If you own a compatible Aprilia, BMW or Ducati model and want a near-invisible shield that follows tank contours, the 4051C delivers practical protection and an upgraded finish without compromising ergonomics.
