Have a R1250rs executive, fantastic bike but noticed that my zip is just starting to mark the end of the tank, which I thought might just be able to be replaced, but looks likes it’s part of the tank assembly! Bit of a duff design, but it’s also an awkward shape, so can anyone please suggest a source or a solution to protect this area, currently using black duct tape, which works very well but not really what you should put on a new bike! |

I fitted this one. Covers a decent area when spaced out correctly.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #4Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #2 Whoops. I would have used the share widget thing but I'm not sure how much tracking they do with those. You may all end up seeing adverts for things I've bought  |

This one has worked well for me. Also available as a 3-piece set which includes the knee guards.

Zitat von Austourer im Beitrag #10 I thought about this and each to their own, but for my taste the motografix is a bit garish - I love the simple elegance of the matt silver "tankcover pure" against the imperial blue paintwork of the exclusive. Unfortunately seems thetankslapper doesn't yet do something bespoke for the RS... Something like this would be more to my liking [ebay]/itm/CLEAR-Film-Tank-Pad-Motorcycle-Paint-Protector-Bmw-Honda-Suzuki-Yamaha-Kawasaki-/122247545501 but even then I'm not sure about the cutouts... |

Zitat von sgoat im Beitrag #13 Not sure how aggressive you get or how much you move around the tank in turns, but the Techspec products have the advantage of providing some grip/friction and match the knee grips if you decide you want them later. “A good man always knows his limitations.” |
