1. Trouble getting them to stick
I purchased this for my wife's R3 as well as my 600. They went on fine with the metal gas tank on the 600 but we are having a tough time keeping them glued down on the R3 despite doing all the recommended prep before installing. I think the problem may be with the shape of the R3 tank in addition to the fact that it is covered in plastic and flexes. I wouldn't recommend putting these on but rather would look at the thinner version since they may wrap around and stick to the tank better.
