Tank Grip Decals for Dirt Bikes & ATVs | MX Graphics Kit

Description

Matte and gloss tank grip decals cut to fit dirt bike and ATV plastic. Sold as a set in widths from 12 to 48 inches, made for riders who want extra grip and a custom look.

Stay Locked On With Tank Grip Decals

Squeezing the tank with your knees is one of the fundamentals of good riding, but stock plastic can feel slick, especially in wet conditions or with worn riding pants. These tank grip decals add a textured contact zone on each side of the tank so your legs grip instead of slide. Each set is cut from cast vinyl with an aggressive adhesive that holds up to boots, knee braces, and pressure from hard braking. Riders use them on motocross tracks, trail rides, and ATV tanks where body control matters. Choose the width that matches your tank, peel, and stick. It is a small upgrade that changes how connected you feel to the machine every time you roll off the line.

Part of a Full MX Graphics Kit Look

Tank grip decals work on their own, but they also pair naturally with a complete mx graphics kit if you want the rest of your plastics to match. Run them over a solid color scheme or layer them into a custom build. We cut every set in-house in matte, gloss, clear, and static cling finishes, so you can go low-profile with clear, bold with gloss, or muted with matte to match the rest of your bike. Because we print to order, you can treat the tank panels as one more canvas in your overall design. Riders mixing pieces from our dirt bike and ATV collections often start here, since the tank is the largest flat surface on the machine and the easiest place to make a visual impact.

Sizing Your Set: 12 to 48 Inch Widths

Every bike and ATV tank is a different shape, so we sell these decals in a range of widths from 12 inches up to 48 inches. To choose, measure the flat area on each side of your tank where your knees make contact, and pick the width that covers it without wrapping past the shrouds or under the seat. Smaller widths suit narrow two-stroke tanks and youth bikes, while the larger sizes fit wide ATV tanks and full-size motocross bikes. The vinyl is flexible cast material, so it curves around tank contours without lifting at the edges. If you are between sizes, going slightly smaller keeps the decal on the flattest part of the surface, which helps it stay down through washes, mud, and pressure washing.

Installation and Care on the Track

Installation takes a few minutes with basic tools. Clean the tank with isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, mud residue, and mold release agents, then let it dry completely. Peel the backing, position the decal starting from one edge, and press it down working outward to push air toward the edge. A felt squeegee or the edge of a credit card helps set the adhesive. Wait a full day before riding or washing so the bond fully sets. After that, normal washing is fine, though avoid aiming a pressure washer directly at the decal edge. If a corner ever lifts, a little heat from a hair dryer softens the adhesive so you can press it back down. Static cling versions can be removed and repositioned without leaving residue.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Will these fit my specific bike model?

We do not claim exact model-specific fitment. The decals are sold by width, so measure the flat contact area on each side of your tank and choose the closest size. The flexible vinyl trims easily with a sharp blade if you need to fine-tune the shape around shrouds or seat edges.

Do tank grip decals damage the plastic underneath?

No. The adhesive is designed to hold firmly to plastic but release cleanly when warmed with a hair dryer. There is no drilling or hardware involved, so your stock plastic stays intact.

Which finish should I choose for grip?

Matte and gloss finishes both use the same textured grip surface, so the choice is mostly about looks. Clear is a good pick if you want the grip without changing the tank's appearance, and static cling works if you want a removable option for temporary use.
