I want to buy a new one. My old one was really small and funny lookin, so since I hava new paint job time for a new tank pad. So if you could plz, post a picture of yours where you got it and how much mayb?

Here's mine, and probably the most common one I've seen - Progrip tank protector. Can probably pick it up at any bike store...

i have the same one...

ProGrip is nice :)

i have the same one...+1. that is what the local shop had, so i got it.

Does anyone use the grips on the side of the tank? Its meant to help people grip the tank with their knees or something.

I do use stomp grip on the 10R. It helps your knee/leg get a better grip on the tank as you lean off, and also if you are squeezing the tank while decelerating. Don't have any on the ninjette yet, and actually can't remember seeing it on any ninjettes yet either. :confused:

Any pictures, Alex? I'm curious even if it's only on the 10R

here's a nice share for you guys, and I don't think many know about this product also: http://www.thetankslapper.com/index.html they sell invisible tank protectors and YES they do have them for the 2008+ 250R.
I'm probably going to buy a set soon :tongue:

Tankslapper looks great.

Tim, what exhaust is that on your bike??

I'm pretty sure Tim has the Leo Vince

ya its a leo. Here's a good sound clip.

Most of it is hidden under the leather tank bra, but here's a pic:

I keep the tank bra on for street use, but remove it on track.

I have some grips on the side of the tank by Techspec. pretty nice material. They provide a descent amount of grip and are pretty subtle with the rest of the bike.

hey jj player, how does the A-tech tank protector install? is it just one big adhesive or what? also, where did you get it (which website?) and how much did you pay for it? :D

I went directly through a-tech. It uses double stick adhesive strips that you have to strategically place yourself. I positioned it all screwed up at first and so I bought more adhesive and redid it until it was perfect. I don't remember the exact price but I think it was around $70 or so...Its basicallly a hunk of CF custom molded for the 250 tank shape.

agreed. thats why I threw it in the garbage when the set came. :D the progrip tank pads are far superior IMO.

More round version ProGrip pad. I think it matches the shape of the bike really well...just a picture I had on my cell phone already.

yeah too bad they don't just sell the side ones by itself.

I agree. I wanted to order the set but its a bit steep @ $45. I wish you could get it cheaper for just the sides.

I saw one the other day (it wasn't a 250), that was a half naked woman in the design of the protector... Though to be honest I wasn't to impressed...

hi,
i got my license 5 yrs ago but never own a bike so i am clueless to these terms. please help me out.
what's a tank pad and the purpose of it?
thanks,

A tank pad is just something that you put on the gas tank to protect it from scratches usually caused by a belt buckle or something rubbing against the tank as you ride.

ya and if you tuck, you'll notice your zipper running along the tank too... not TOO bad, but over time...

Thanks :) I really don't know. I was looking for a tank pad that would go well and as soon as I saw this one I was sold. And it is fitting :p

I have. My tank protector is from them. Just email them and ask about whatever item you're interested in and they will tell you how much it will cost and give you the shipping prices. They'll even set up a pay pal invoice so it will convert USD to yen for your payment.

I just emailed them....You haven't taken any new photos of your bike have you ? I wouldn't mind seeing it from a different angle if you have shots laying around...

I'll get some shots up. I finally got my camera charger so maybe later today if I get the chance.

Sooooooo bc my paint is so fresh my tank protector isn't sticking in a couple places..... 3m adhesive?

Jael- if you're putting on an a-tech style one then 3m adhesive will work. You just have to play around with the placement before you put it on to figure out exactly how you want it and to try to eliminate as many gaps as possible. When applying it I found it works best if you press on the top first and keep applying pressure as you go down to keep it as flush as you can.

hey guys I got quoted at 153 dollars for the type r tank pad sent to my door....does that sound about what you paid ?

So do you guys think its a good idea to install the tank pad before or after a good waxing?

I'm guessing before??.. so that it's sticking directly to the tank, as oppose to a layer of wax.

So do you guys think its a good idea to install the tank pad before or after a good waxing?

After!! give it some time tho. I wouldn't apply it after a fresh wax job.

I'd put some dewaxer/degreaser on that area, apply it, then rewax it. A professional painter told me that. I did it, it works and hasn't raised as of yet.

This sounds right.
So use the dewaxer.
Apply tank pad.
Rewax the area.

What works for dewaxer?

I just want to get this right cause I spent like 25 on this tank pad and I dont want it peeling up on me after a month and I've never applied a tank pad before.ya know

Thanks guys. I ended up just washing it real well with (Green)Dawn and hot water. I'll let ya's know how it holds up.

The closest one to stock height is the double bubble, but the shape of the windscreen is a lot more rounded. The sport touring one is a lot higher than the DB.I think there is a DIY thread on a double bubble install and there is a shot comparing the double to the stocker.

acutally I have a Zero Gravity SR light smoke windscreen. it's the exact same height as the stocker, just smoked. the DB was too tall for me liking. made the bike had funny proportions. I don't go on the highway much, so it's perfect for me.

terrible.

awwww why is that terrible?

haha...I'm just busting your chops because I'm not a big fan of all of you guys that put those stickers on your vehicles, Too each his own.

Ouch they hurt! :thumbup:

Plus....stickers are cheaper than paint!! :D

terrible.

haha my buddy said the same when he saw my tank pad. Said everyone else always has the same thing... but he also said he'd probably get one when he got his bike :rolleyes:

but ya, $12 tank pad vs. $300 paint job = flawless victory:p

WHAT? $12??? I paid $18!!!!! Totally not worth it at that price. lol ;)

I put my tank pad on the second day I had the bike...a good rub with a microfibre cloth to get any dust off and so far the pad sticks great.

is that autobot one really a tank pad or just a decal/sticker? if so where did u get it cus thats awesome?

its just a decal but it works just the same. i didn't want to get what everyone else had.....

it's a cool idea, but i think there are cooler decals out there

i think it looks kinda too wide

Tim, how did you manage to do such a clean application of the clear tank pad? Mine has bubbles EVERYWHERE, and on a black bike, it's very noticeable. :( I did wipe the tank surface clean prior to application.

I just wiped tank clean then put the tank pad on while bike was in my Basement which stays pretty cool.. Then worked out as much of the air bubbles as i could. Then brought the Bike outside to sit in the sun and let the tank pad heat up and Soften and i was able to then remove 99% of the air bubbles.. Most people who look at my bike up close ask me where in got the paint matched Tank Pad...:D

I think clear tank pads are the best-looking option, if you do a nice application. :) Thanks for the tip about smoothing it out after letting it sit in the sun. I'll try that.

bump!

More pics Please! I can't decide!

I really want to get a tank pad also. Had my bike about 3mos now and Im startin to notices lil tiny scratches on the tank. I think I like the clear ones more than most with designs or whatever. It is hard to decide just cuz there are so many and all about the same price. Nice lookin bikes every1!

Have had it on pretty much since I got the bike a little over a year ago... I like it... but have been considering getting the carbon fiber tank extender :noidea:

Well I tell u this, the color of the tank is the collest, in my opinion the tank pad has to blend with the curvs of the tank... and the best way to I found was making my... Some of my friends said i hides too much of the tank... but i am not done still... i will get more vinils on to the bike... and thinking of gething some of the BIKERS SMART AND STRONG parts... so all the bike que in to a flow!

If the green matched the tank I would like mine but I guess I'll keep it for a while.

Any recommendations for a Blue Ninja tank pad? Can't decide....

Thanks

@DjDiablo

How dare you just post a cool arse tank pad like that without tellin us how you made it so perfectly. literally looks perfect. Was that alot of trial and error??

No I got scraps 3M vinils that look like CB and place on the botton part of the tank... than with a pencil and ruller I draw how it was supost to look like... Than very carfully I cut of the parts I did not want... Than I place another scrap from the tank cap to the bot... same thing ruler and pencil how i want it and cut it of...
Only did it once... Very easy to do but u got to be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY carful not to do a deep scrachs on the tank... some scrachs u polish of but u got to go very light on the knife... I will do more vinils soon on my bike than i post how i did... KKK:thumbup:

heres mine (before recentering)

The color scheme goes pretty well with the red/black decals on the white se.

Ebay special:

Not sure if I can get it cheaper than $25 somewhere else than Amazon:

That's a nice looking pad, GET ITTTTT

I want one that will cover half the tank, but can't find where to buy one.

I remember seeing it somewhere but it was way to pricey for me. I can probably find the site if you're really interested.

Thanks cuong

Here's a pic of mine, just put on today. Unfortunately it's kinda hard to get a good picture of the carbon fiber texture with the glossy, reflective topcoat. It is actually much darker in person.

That's the best seat cowl I've ever seen for a 250. Elegant, simple, plain, and smooth. wow. I'm not a fan of CF though because it doesn't match any of the rest of the bike. Get it painted and it would be darn good looking.

I got it from a guy on ebay who makes these from real sheets of carbon fiber with a laser cutter. It's hard to see in pictures but this is the real deal...it's very
glossy and the fiber is clearly visible.
I'm pretty sure he just ripped off the progrip design, but I don't care...not my copyright.

krylyshkina is the seller on ebay.

$29 shipped. Came fast, excellent buy IMO.
:cool:

My tank pad. (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17917&stc=1&d=1333895394) I like the shape (wider at the top than most) and also liked the reference to the U.S., as I'm here in Japan. Looks damn good on the blue.:D

I have the same one that a few others posted, was cheap and looks good on the blue.
