Hi Everyone,
For sale is a brand new (still in sealed package) Tankslapper brand tank protector. This is a completely removable film that protects the finish on the gas tank. The film is removable because it is held on by static attraction, no adhesives are used. The film is nearly invisible.
For sale is the three piece kit customized to fit a GS500F:
- 2 side panels to protect the knee pockets
- 1 rear center piece to protect the back of the tank

I bought this kit mistakenly thinking it would provide grip for my legs. I found out later that the primary function is actually to protect the tank finish. My bike is too old to care about finish (1995), but I know some of you have newer bikes that are worth protecting! I'm going to install some solid black grip pads instead.
Complete details are available at: www.thetankslapper.biz
Asking $10 + shipping. Please PM if interested.

Hey Berto,
Where do you get those black grip pads for the tank? Thanks.
I am looking at the grips from TechSpec:

They don't make a custom set for the GS500, so I will buy the grips for the SV650 and make them work!
Thanks berto. That stuff's still pretty expensive.

If you keep an eye out at http://forum.svrider.com/, they sometimes have group purchases. I bought a set through them at about 30% off the list price.
Now I'm just waiting for them to arrive so I can see if they fit without modification. I'll post a thread with the results.
