I just received the first shipment of tank slappers that you required my good fellows. How many would you like and for which models? haha

Re: Tank slappers in
Hi Sook,

I might be interested in a set. How much are we talking for a 954 set?

How closely do the side panels join up with the centre strip? does this setup normally replace any type of tank pad? Sorry for all the dumb questions, just never seen one of these in action.

Re: Tank slappers in
In order to save a bit of cash perhaps we should have all the Melbourne bound tank slappers chucked into one package and then distributed locally from there.

I'm happy to stick my hand up, gives me a good excuse to go for a bit of a ride around the traps. So if we all chuck in a few extra bucks for the joint postage it should sort itself out.

Any objections?

They come in an envelope. I don't think you'll be saving much even if you get 20 people together.

In that case, I guess you're right, not much point pooling if they can be thrown into an envelope.

Haha< I'm glad I wasn't the only one that didn't know. Basically they are a pre cut clear tank protector. Pretty trick things.

Re: Tank slappers in
ahh yes the things that go where your knees are, I know a kid that has them. Do they start to peel like a regular tank pad always does. Speaking of tank pads anyone know where I can get one that matches the Erion paint scheme? I had a CBR9 one on my tank but I have a huge dent in my tank now and I'm gonna get a new tank.

I'd suggest you leave the gimp suit in the closet while you ride, then you won't have such problems with buckles. hahahaha jusyt kidding. They're supposed to. I sell them for $35/set. At this stage I have them for 954, 1000RR, ZX10, R1 04 and GSXR1000.
