Also I want some clear tank pads for the side does anyone know where I can get these from??

Rent-a-friend,

1. hair dryer to heat up the gum
2. pull pads off
3. either wd40 or 'sticky stuff' remover from DIY shop
4. wash with soapy water
5. have a beer
6. have a pie to go with beer
7. have another beer, seeing as you are at it
8. stick new pad on
9. have a beer
10. job done

hope it helps

Stompgrip pads - 2 per tank.

You can read about these in the bike press.

No problem. I don't think they do a set specifically for the VTEC, but they do a universal set which, I assume, you could cut to shape.
