Hi all , I know this is trivial but I need a tank protector . Anyone got any pics of any good ones ... I know it's all on taste but I ain't got a clue what I'm looking for ....
Pro Grip in clear. The first thing I did after uncrating was very carefully clean and then polish all bodywork with the Dr.Beasleys, twice. Then I used a couple small pieces of masking tape to ensure my alignment was straight on the tank pad and stuck it in place. I like the clear because the paint shows through nicely. I saw it first on Turbo329's machine and followed suit, imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all.

Tried to take a better pic, i set the lowest point center about 30-32mm from the tank base, this gives me good coverage when leaning forward tight tuck, but also from the bottom zipper on my 1-piece leathers which has a tendency to leave a mark. This covers that area completely. Very happy with it for the price.
Cheers!
Man ... you got issues .. it's obvious your sad and lonely and have got nothing better to do than pick on people . Someone has given me a response and I have listened and purchased the product . You come in last post and say SEARCH on both posts .
When I look at your posts .. it's an argument all the time . Get a life
I've got the expel protection on the bike, but still thinking of getting a tank protector too, BobC the one you have looks to be a good substantial piece. I can't tell from the pic but does it extend to the bottom of the tank, by the seat too?
No Don it doesn't go right to the bottom. The limit on how low I could fit it was governed by the width of the top section of the pad and the shape of the tank which tapers downward.
Having said that, it's been on for over two years now and there are no marks on the tank.
Ha , sorry about your floor ! I think what really P*I*S*S*E*D her off was A) I looked better in them than she does B) they were lose fitting on me ! .
What dogs do you have ? Here's mine as a puppy in 2015 !
Wow, he is a great looking dog! I have two, a female American Bulldog named 'Desmo', and a boy named 'Remington'. Remmy is an all brindle Bullador. Half english bullog, half lab. He has become my constant companion and wants to ride so bad that I am thinkin of a sidecar rig for my 14R for him.
Very nice , and both have the look of a "thief deterrent " about them , dogs are win win as far as I'm concerned and judging by how yours have commandeered the sofa I think you see it the same way .
I liked the idea of taking my first Deerhound out in a sidecar so much so that I brought a BMW R65 with a sort of tradesmen box attached especially for that reason . He was a very big boy and the moment I pressed the starter button he freaked out , my girlfriend also sitting in the box was unable to hold him back , from that moment he would not even entertain the idea if getting in even without the engine running .
I sold it a year later ( bike not the dog ) but only after a few pub trips with three passengers in the box !
I fuking LOVE dogs, they are so much better than people. Nice pics gents. @Niobium23...Dude you totally have to do the 14R sidecar. Epic if you can fab it.
That comment in post #24 made absolutely no sense. I assume it was accolades for my wishing you well with Arabic, but not real sure in whatever grammar that is.
Man Ted, sorry to hear that. And I totally agree Nola, my dogs are my best buds! I am working on a basic frame for a sidecar rig. Gonna use chromoly tubing with strategic gussets. I want to be able to bolt it to the 14R frame for rides with the dog, and remove it again to ride two up or whatever. I swear, when I am puttering on this in the garage, Remmy understands what I'm working on. He knows it's a set up for him. He comes over and gets excited and tries to get involved. Lol. Basically gets milk bone crumbs over everything. I sure do want to ride with this guy!

Yeah, the absolute hardest thing to bear is losing your dog, at least for me.
I had another dog that just loved to go for a ride. I would stuff her in may jacket and that was a happy dog. And she loved nothing more than to just hang out in the garage with me. She had her own drawer. I miss that dog.
@sharky67
Its cool dude. I am abrasive. I own that. @Niobium23
Remmy DOES know what you are working on. and its gonna let him fly. They love the open car window $hit. @Supercharged
If he only knew how accurate he is calling someone from NOLA a Primate. I kinda liked it.
I thought NOLA and BobC had one from ZZR 1400 but after your answer I’ve looked at the image of BobC one fitted and I think it’s the same item .
It’s about the best I’ve seen for my taste so think I’ll get one .
NOLA DID put the ZX-14 one on his bike before Kawi thought of it
NOLA
