carbon tank shield - Kentish - 23-01-14
Anyone got one of these from Infinite Performance? real carbon. They look quite good for protecting from scratches.

Do we rearly need that much protecting. All that glue me thinks will do more harm than good

Tis a bit on the large side!

It sticks on with tape that comes already attached. I was going to order one and see what it looks like. Think they only £24 or something. Bare in mind that is a Yellow Tank. so probably stands out like a sore thumb, Anything yellow stands out like a sore thumb anyway!!
Your be surprised how much the paint does wear away on that part of the tank. You sit right against it on the fazer.

You sit right against it on the fazer.Yes I know ive had the same one for 13 years and you do not need all of that, those "wings" wont get touched and you can knock off 1/4 from the top. And those with double sided sticky tape always look rubbist and you wil get loose areas that you can tap as the cover floats a little.
Where you do need protection is where your knees are that link of mattsplats look right

Talking about where your knees are I use these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301034993657?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I have just started using my Fazer a lot more now for commuting and noticed a few scratches appearing in the area where I lean on the tank. I have a tank protector there already but its not really up to much. So I was going to try the carbon thing. I don't like the bagster tank covers as I think it ruins the look of the bike. The colour is never right
