Tank protection
« on: April 19, 2007, 04:13:08 PM »
Hey guys. So im thinking i'd like to get some protection for my project bike's tank. Not just from jacket zippers, but maybe some protection from my legs as it will get rubbed alot during track days.  I have heard good things about stomp grip pad. are there any other alternatives?

Thanks for any input  :motorsmile:

Well, there's Mag-Knight (home based in Snohomish) and the 3M clear stuff like they use on cages.

Well, you can get a pre-cut protection kit for a whole 2G "S" model's bodywork & (separate) headlight kit here.
You can buy bulk film from the same folks here.


WebBikeWorld has an article on it with some other sources to buy it from, too.
