TANK PROTECTORS

[Deon]

Hi guys,
A while ago someone mentioned that they bought these protectors somewhere. Cannot find that thread for the life of me. If you know where I can get them from, PLEASE let me have the details. Down here in South Africa I just get "blank" stares when I enquire about these.

Check that they have them in stock before parting with your money

They are a great product, I ordered some on line only to be told they weren't in stock and could be some time before they became available..I got my money back.

Thanks a lot you guys !! Will e-mail them to check stock on hand. looking for plain black ones if possible. The contrast of those in the pics are not to my liking.

Those pics are of my bike. They are black pads on a black bike - they do not have that stark contrast in real life but are very difficult to capture in a photo.

They make a real difference to your connection with the bike - I think you'll like them.

Regards

Max.

Max,
Thanks a ton for the information. Do you perhaps have the product code for the black ones ? Would be of great assistance. I am battling to get hold of these guys !!!

Have a look at www.techspec-aus.com.au - that's where I got mine.

The code is 62-2500-C3. There are a number of different materials available, I chose the C3. Be aware there is a different kit for pre 2010 and post 2010 models.

Regards

Max.

PS I just checked the website and they don't list the 1400GTR but I would drop them an email as there is definitely a kit available - the kit has the knee pads and a tank protector all pre cut for a perfect ft.

Thanks a ton Max,

Have e-mailed them. Hope they respond as the dealer in the UK has not responded to my e-mail as of yet.

No reply from either the UK or Aus dealers. Guess business is good !!!

I am really trying to get hold of these protectors but cannot get hold of any of these two dealers. Is there anyone else I can try ? Any advice will be appreciated.

I think they are an Australian Company Deon, maybe you could e-mail them and ask for a U.K supplier

I think the issue is that Deon is in South Africa?

DOH ! what a prat I am..its to do with my age

@Kwikasfuki,
That is EXACTLY the problem. Suppliers are not really eager to assist when they hear we are down in SA. Very frustrating as we do not get all the nice aftermarket stuff that you guys are able to get. And to get a dealer down here to organise something for you from the UK or USA is a mission on it's own let me tell you !!
I have been trying to get a hugger, tank bag and now these tank pads but have hit a dead end.
Some mates of mine went up to the Isle Of Man TT a while ago, but I only thought of asking them to get hold of the stuff for me AFTER they returned ( that was my own fault ). Anyway, just a bit of a rant to get it off my chest this morning.
