Help Tankpad
Does anyone here know how much the A-TECH Type-R Carbon Fiber Tankpad costs USD? And what is the difference in the Type-R and Type S pad? I want the pad that "Beast" aka Chris has and believe it's the Type-R.

Just go to their website and convert their price from Yen to dollars, and then add about $40 to that because of shipping and other fees. And yes, Chris has the Type-R. I'm 99.9% certain that the only difference between them is the shape.

He has the carbon fiber Type-r in TC. I have the type S in TC. The price came to around $84 including shipping and the two cost the same. The only difference is that the Type-S shape conforms almost directly to the tank. The Type-R comes up a little bit on the top so it makes the tank look slightly different.

Thanks that's a huge help! Do you have a picture of your Type S pad that I can look at?

Jake- I bought it straight from them. I sent an email to info@a-tech.org I think. The address comes up when you click "contact us." As far as the price, I'll have to try to dig up my paypal invoice but I remember they created an invoice for me and when I paid through paypal, it automatically converted it to yen and that was the amount it cost me in US $. Everytime I've ordered from them, the price they quote me through email is always a little bit less than what is posted on their site. I have no idea why. It was the same when I bought the hugger.

hey Chris ~ ok, cool! if it's cheaper then it's cheaper, no complaints here! how is that hugger working out for you? does it still "rattle" a little here and there or did you find a solution?

Its not a tank pad like what you think a normal tank pad is. Its more of a tank cover I guess you would say? Covers half the tank closest to you. Oh yea and its made out of carbon fiber haha. If you do a search on the forum and type in a-tech tank cover carbon fiber I'm sure it'll come up

btw, thought I'd throw this in there, the Type-R is more expensive than the Type-S...look at their site, you'll see. That's how JJ got his for less than the $104 that you quoted.

I thought they were the exact same price but kazam is right! My bad. It makes sense though since the Type R has more carbon fiber at the top and according to Beast it makes the area above the tank a little bit higher by about 2 inches. Here is a pic of mine. It pretty much curves forward with the shape of the tank. It is conformed almost exactly to the tank shape. The Type R makes the tank look like it has a whole different shape.
Also, here's the link that shows what materials match up to the different letters like TC. http://www.a-tech.org/shop/sample.html |

A-tech type-r update
okay so I contacted A-TECH and have a work order up for the tankpad...is this a good deal? $130 shipped..... The 84-104 sounded better from what others got on here. Is it worth it or should I pass.

If you feel like you're getting ripped off - don't buy it. If not, get that sucker and post up some pictures

It depends on what type of protector and how bad you want that particular look. Is that $130 price for the Type-R including shipping?

I compared the two types and I asked Beast about his. I decided I'd rather just get the Type-S and use the extra money towards the rear hugger. there is a difference between the two protectors, but it wasn't big enough of a difference for an extra $20 IMO.

Type R sounds so much cooler! But yeah, if the difference is not substantial enough, and you're going to be taking a huge hit in your hip-pocket; get the Type S.

I guess the best way to tell would be to look at them side by side. Here are the pics.

I'm assuming the Type R one has the 'hump'?

Wow, changes the whole shape of the tank. Probably would feel weird at first.

actually, I talked to Beast about the Type-R and he says you can't even really feel it. I like the shape the Type-R gives the bike - a little more edgy feeling, so I'm gonna go with that!

Yeah its really a matter of preference. I actually prefer the type R also, but not enough to drop the extra cash. At the time I bought it though, I thought they were both the same but I went with the type S to be different.
