I saw that WEBBIKE has larger tank covers...
Both in with and losing the deep angle at the rear of the tank...
I also saw one company offers an R6 tank cover for the R3 but I could NOT read it...
ANYONE know ANYTHING about these???
Thanks...

the covers I found...

What would be the point?

What would be the point?

my reasoning for getting one would be because the bike visually seems thin due to the tank especially in comparison to my old yzf r125 which had a wider tank and therefore felt like a bigger bike

- $ costs ?
- does it just slide over the main tank?

Beautiful tank cover but ouch that shipping fee

 

[mobadger72]

In my mind I will I'll just imagine it costs $210.00 w / FREE SHIPPING !!! LOL

Yeah, that's a steep shipping fee! Probably because it needs a large box for protection.

But, they do come pre-painted, so maybe $210 isn't so expensive?

Hello,

I just came across this product today. Seems very interesting!! My wish was to have a metal tank but it came with plastic.(yes larger in size better)
Have you purchased it?
Is it made of metal?(Unlike default plastic).
I wish someone would have purchased it so we can see some real photos of it.
btw I found this here also.

I was checking those out and on eBay. I noticed on the back of my tank(Black) starting to show wear from my clothing. I checked out the tank pads that some people have. They would not even cover the area I'm talking about. The scuffing starts 1/8 " next to the matte plastic tank cover. I Guess I could just shift the protective pad to cover that area. It's black bike so it starts to show sooner I'm thinking. Just got past a 1000 miles on the bike really smooth now. I Really like this bike. Passed my DMV test last week.

Magcal Racing and KITACO (I have that one) real carbon tank protectors:

Yep that looks really good. Protects that whole area. Thanks FangShui that will look nice on the black tank.

Your tail Fender. Is it kind of close in color, match ? to the tank carbon protector.

There's a photo of it installed in this post. This was before I changed out the center tank panel for the black one

Unfortunately I have the same problem with minor scuff marks from riding tuck positions. Need to invest in one of these
