    I have it done and i highly recommend it JJ. Most places will do it, and pretty cheap. since it doesnt require a ton of work

    I've got some pads to put on mine but I've been too lazy to put 'em on yet... :embarassed:

    Here's the site for 'em. http://www.thetankslapper.com/
    They're about $20 from what I remember and they're not so much actual pads as they are protective film to avoid scratches. the nice thing is that there's no glue involved in case you wanted to replace them with something else

    Re: Clear Bra On Tank?

    Now that would be something to produce and patent...a clear bra. No straps to view hanging outside a tank top....no dirty straps from skin bronzer......and no showing through as a different color under a white t-shirt.
    I want one.

    Saran Wrap does not stick well. I want straps, cups, and hooks to hook..or unhook.

    I would highly recommend A Touch Above Glass on 120th.
    He did the tint and clear bra on my aviator and tint on my LR3 and he is VERY detailed and does great work for good prices. Not sure if he's done any work on bikes but as much of a perfectionist as he is I would trust him with mine.
    I don't have the number

    ^^Only if you can't figure out how to remove them and end up playing with 'em. Otherwise they're just one more barrier between me and motoboat'n heaven

    +1 on Clear Bra on the tank. I have some pieces on the sides and back of the tank on my RC51 to keep my leathers from scratching the tank.

    Did mine and works well. You might check w/ this guy. He's done some for me and did a nice job:

    King Clear Bra
    Dale
    720.560.1410

    He can also meet up with you and do onsite while your at work etc.

    Re: Clear Bra On Tank?

    Yeah i've been wanting to do this to my front as well. Since it's a new bike, i'd like to keep it looking new and not all beat up from rocks. Know anyone down in the Springs? I've called a couple small shops and never get a return call.

    check out the tankslapper for a non permanent option. if they dont have an option for your tank you can get it in uncut sheets for custom applications

    2000 tillis plus stuff with some polished stuff and some carbon fiber stuff and a little bit of tlr stuff and some gsxr stuff

    Should be around $70 I believe with the thicker material unless you just want the sides done.
