Tank Protectors
So I spent a stupid amount of time choosing a tank protector, because there is so much tank that I contact when riding aggressively. So I wanted to cover a lot of it, but I also didn't want it to look ridiculous. So I went with Carbon Fiber and got the most coverage I could. I *think* I like it, but I haven't decided yet.
Anyone else put a tank pad on yet? Pics? Here's mine: |

Looks like a robot to me. I like the round hole at the bottom. Why would you need a hole in that location?

Yea, I can see the robot. My first thought was something in the Predator's language. The circle at the bottom is actually the most important piece, because my leathers have a seam that was really starting to damage the clear coat there. The circle at the top, though, is completely superfluous, and I put it on there just cuz I have it. I think I'll take it off. |

tank pad for the 300
Quote:
I am picking up a new green SE tomorrow morning. I don't want any of the graphics to be covered but a tank protector is essential. I will probably have to use a clear one. I also want some clear "knee pads" to protect the sides of the tank. I haven't been able to locate any clear knee pads so far... Has anyone else put tank/knees pads on an SE? |

On that note, they are the company I'd go with if I wanted clear protection. Check out their site if you haven't already -- protect the whole tank and the knee wells, and not even be able to see the protection. It's pretty cool. http://thetankslapper.biz |
