Tank protectors?

Skills3241 · Mar 2, 2016

Hey guys, I've got a blue 2015 R3, I realised when I washed it the other day that it had sustained a scratch on the tank. I found out after parking my bike next to a mates R3 (red) that you can get tank protectors? I'm looking at getting the centre and side protector pads.

Is it worth it?
Has there been any trouble with the glue sticking to the tank?
Where can I buy them from WITH the R3 logo on the tank pad?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Clean the tank surface with alcohol and they'll stick just fine.

Here are the side protectors with the R3 logo on them.

And Yamaha sells this center pad with the logo

Not cheap, though http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-YZF-...ZF-R3-CARBON-FIBER-LOOK-TANK-PAD-W-R3-LOGO-FITS-2015-R3-BRAND-NEW-/281902479607

Tank protector

How about this? Pretty cheap, and a genuine Yamaha part by the looks of it.

It looks way too wide at the top to fit the narrow R3 center tank panel....

Definitely do report back, Squirdle. I enjoy the look of that one.
