Bra's

[GD4GVN]

How many people here use a tank bra. I like the idea of the coverage but I am afraid they will scratch or fade my paint.Can anyone here give me some help? I have the tankslapper clear cover but I was wondering if I would be better off with the bra?

Went from a cf bra to the tank-slapper 3m cover. Definately won't be using a bra on my busa again

I had the clear one on my last busa and it turned yellowish after a while . It was a cheap one from cycle gear.

+1 for tank slapper. I have the 3-piece kit on mine and it rocks. Stays put, stays clear and really protects the paint where you need it to.

I think I saw that slapper on e-bay (3 piece) , just don't get a cheap one like I had.

Why even take the chance with scambay, it's only 15 bills for the tank slapper from their website.

got the tank slapper 3 piece on mine. Wouldnt have anything else. Also have it on my undertail for rock chips. Makes clean up a snap. Also got a square piece and put it on the lower front below the radiator and on the lower L&R main fairings for blow up dirt. Thats where all the rock chips happen.

I bought a gixxer bra but had to take it back. Says you are supposed to remove it, if it gets wet to dry the tank and bra ... I don't think so.
I use the clear 3 piece vinyl stickies.

I have the carbon look one from Suzuki, I love it, the fit is not as good as one say from second look, but there's a big difference in price.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer but I think I am going to go ahead and install the tank slapper.

I wonder if a good tyflon clear coat could also help protect the paint. I remember years ago I had a friend that coated his bike in that. To help prove it protects the paint he bent down and picked up a handful of little pebbles sand and dirt and thru it against his bike pretty hard, there were no scratches. I wonder where I can find some of that now, I think that would help

I have a second look bra that I like a lot. Haven't had any trouble with paint fading yet.....
Here's a pic

I have the Suzuki carbon look, and have no problems, like any bra's or covers keeping it clean is the secrete, do that and you will have no problems.

 

[busahigg]

Pay for the shipping and you can have one of my Suzuki Bra's. If you like it, keep it....if not, keep it.

 

[frisbee]

Cool , I sent you a PM

 

[busahigg]

I'll send it out tomorrow morning. UPS Good?

 

[frisbee]

Sent you my address.

I've used a bra on all my bikes. But like others have said, if you keep it clean, no problems with paint fade, scratches, etc. I wanted to try the tankslapper, but someone said that with a black bike, you could see the film of the tankslapper. For those of you that use the tankslapper, is this true?
