New Tank Bra

[Ranger]

New tank bra came today, anyone have ideas on how to get the wrinkles out from it being folded up in the package. I'm hoping they'll just naturally smooth out over time!

The first warm day you have there just park the bike in the sun..... You can also warm it up with a hair dryer.... I just moved my bra from my 07 to the 08 and had the same problem, I got most of the wrinkles out with a little heat from a hair dryer.

So the one for the Gen1 fits the Gen2?

tanks are suppose to be different

Yeah, if they fit well I'm gonna go get one. Other than that they need to hurry up and get some out for the '08. Got a scuff already since so much of your body touches the tank to compared to other bikes.

This is a Suzuki factory made bra for an 08, got it off Ebay($35) There is a thread here somewhere that has a gen I bra on a gen II. Didn't quite fit smoothly from what I could tell, had a bit of wrinklage.

Hey Select, how you adjusting to the new busa?...starting to grow on ya'?

I purchased a Suzuki factory tank bra off Ebay as well. Kinda cool it came with the factory decals that will be covered up when installing the bra. Not a big fan of the safety decals, but having the 90 octane fuel requirement decal was cool!

Had a few wrinkles at the beginning, but they have went away since then. Looks great!

Real easy, seat off, lift the tank up, then it kind of slides on the back of the tank like a sock. There are plastic clips that fit all along the bottom lip of the tank that keep it nice and taut. Very simple takes less than 10 minutes.
