tank protectors

the cats pajamas

i only ride with textiles, is it worth putting one on anyway?
i think most look a bit tacky, what does the board think about them?

You can get really nice custom ones Andy. Dont have to be them multicoloured HOOLIGAN jobbies! Or just get a nice tankbag like I have.

I have a bagster cover on the Pan, best thing I ever got, But even my Deauville had protectors on and I rarely wear anything other than textile

Excellent product but very pricey for what they are.

I'd a fake carbon one fitted to my last bike, IMO it'd didn't look tacky. But if you buy tacky designs it'll look tacky. Current bike came with a tank bag and mounting harness so I just leave the harness on all the time.

True that, but strangely enough if you search on eBay.de occassionally you will find them at a very affordable price

I have read that the clear stomp grips fade and turn a yellow colour with the heat of the sun, which in turn might make the the bike look a bit dirty on certain coloured bikes.

One I bought in past was so clear could hardly see it on tank but it did its job as after few months it had small scratches on it;best way to describe it is it`s like clear plastic pieces you get on new phone screens etc..of course thicker and better stickiness. Other ones I have saw on mates bike had ridges like bubble wrap but somehow looked tacky and condensation got down it.
