[Twozup]

Mines clear so it doesn't spoil the silver twin stripe on the deep armor.

No point of posting a picture as you cant tell its there, it does follow the curve of the tank nicely though. Loads of them in my very local bike emporium.

It might be because I'm a designer, but the tank pad/protector looks really odd against the asymmetric petrol tank stripe. I think the clear one is the way to go, unless you have a matte grey ! Mines coming with one fitted, which i might change ! (although i plan to do a colour change wrap on the tank anyway so it will come off for that)

Agreed here - you can't mess up the tank stripe with a tank pad stuck over it..!

 

[UnluckySlats]

Mine is clear

Do you mind sharing a link of the one you bought?

 

[marcusfordus]

I just walked in and picked one up from a big pile of them !.

No links involved Cypher, but he does have an ebay shop, I'll see if any are listed.

Ooh, nice! Thanks a lot! I'll sift through and report back

I'm in the shop. Yes in stock had one in my hand 30 seconds ago.
I'm here dropping the hugger off to have carbon fibre version made. So when its done they will also be on the site, or special order direct.
I like Carbon fibre goodies.

Carbon fibre one on my matt grey, cost about £5 off ebay

 

[marcusfordus]

Suits the matt grey rather well.

99p off eBay, bit Jammie as nobody else bid! The Yamaha logo has a hologram effect meaning it can only be seen from certain angles which i like a lot.

I just ordered this tank pad and fitted it. Shity quality. You had the same experience with yours?

Does any one know a good brand with clear tank pads?

Thanks

cheers

Mine is transparant too.
I found it in Germany. It's a set with 2 pieces for the sides of the tank.
I don't want to spoil the striping on my Deep Armor.

It's OK. The first moment I put it on I thought it was crap as it was rather cold outside on that day, the gel was quite stiff and I had a few air bubbles under it when I put it on. Now it's not too bad though, all the bubbles are gone weirdly enough and it looks alright. Not ideal but better than nothing. Can't expect much for a couple quid though. Ordered a black one from China for 99p but it hasn't arrived yet. Not sure which one to keep though.

Try and heat up both the pad and the tank with a hairdryer before you fit, makes the tank pad more flexible, will get no air bubbles either

I can't stretch the hairdryer that far. I live on the 5th floor and park my bike at the back of a multi-story building
