Bill - Not sure what you mean by "film", but my tank pad was mounted after wiping down the surface with some alcohol. It has been on there for over a year and is rock solid. The tank pad itself is about $25.00 US and the set is about $75.00. Had a full set on my last FJR and they worked great.

Had similar thoughts initially, but they also make a silver version TB0441bs (I think), which is slightly better, however I did talk to them again and they are looking To see if they can make me a plainer custom version without the “loud” RS logo on it, will let you know when they get back to me. |

Just put a couple of pieces of 3M Ventureshield on to give temporary protection whilst I wait. |

Zitat von sgoat im Beitrag #13 I thought the OP wanted to protect the black bump which is below the protector in the picture.

After re-reading the post I think you're right. When I bought my RS, the previous owner had put some carbon fiber like vinyl wrap on the "bump". It may have looked good at one time but I ended up peeling it off as it was beat to shit. If it were me, I think I'd try to do something to cover the offending zipper itself. 2000 Kawasaki Concours |

Zitat von sgoat im Beitrag #22 That’s is the plan, to cover and protect the bump, which BMW could easily have made replaceable! Currently have removed the duct tape and temporarily covered the bump and the silver area above with 3M ventureshield, which has covered very well and wraps into the edges, however first attempt there are a few large bubbles, going to have another go as being clear it doesn’t change the aesthetics of the bike, but will provide protection whilst I wait to hear back from Motographix about a custom tank protector, which I think will be the long term solution. Also covered the zip with tape, but not ideal, probably someone makes a zip cover, but have come across anything yet. |

This has worked for years.

170766B8-5C4B-44BB-8CB7-5D89716903DB.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)I have Techspec tank protectors, IMO they look good and the “snakeskin” pattern matches the texture on the black side panels of the bike well. The centre section fitted low down to the seat should easily avoid scratches from zips (no issues in 4 years for me). Mine is the 1200RS but I assume it would be equally suited to the 1250 model. |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #26 That may not work on the raised black part The OP had a black hump where you placed your protector. Looks like the black part on the Grey bikes. 2016-BMW-R1200RS-Sport-Touring-Motorcycles-For-Sale-4882.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #28 I’m with you on avoiding the loud graphics - no need to inform your crotch that its rubbing up against an RS   |

Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #28 Until your thread I had always thought that piece was rubber or plastic. It's a shame it's not.
