: New '08 Tank Protector/Pad... Where to find?
peasly23 04-21-2008, 11:19 AM I can't seem to find where to buy the new Tank protector from for my new '08 GSXR 750. It's not listed on Suzuki's site. Anyone care to share?
[edit] found the one, but don't know where to find...
Gixxer Genie 04-21-2008, 11:21 AM Are you looking for the center pad, side pads, or top tank guard? Let me know and I will assist with p/n.
foskamink 04-21-2008, 11:26 AM that isnt a suzuki tank pad is it, and those sides are not suzuki made
Gixxer Genie 04-21-2008, 11:32 AM that isnt a suzuki tank pad is it, and those sides are not suzuki made
Yes, they are Genuine Suzuki Accessories. Photographs were taken by me in the back parking lot at the Brea corporate office.
peasly23 04-21-2008, 12:13 PM The Center Pad. Thanks. But the one in the picture you showed is not the one I'm looking for. I thought I saw a new one that was designed differently, but I can't seem to find a pic for it anywhere now.
rraiderr 04-21-2008, 12:15 PM I run the removable tankslapper.
Gixxer Genie 04-21-2008, 12:34 PM The Center Pad. Thanks. But the one in the picture you showed is not the one I'm looking for. I thought I saw a new one that was designed differently, but I can't seem to find a pic for it anywhere now.
I think you may have seen the following "winged" tank pad designed for the K7/K8 1000. Unfortunately, these accessories will not fit the 750/600.
peasly23 04-21-2008, 12:39 PM Nope, that wasn't it. It was the same size as the other one, but shaped way differently. It had parts going in all kinds of directions. It looked kinda "Alien"ish

I believe you're looking for the brand Progrip - not a fan of the look, but to each his own.
peasly23 04-21-2008, 12:51 PM Nope, not those either... sorry guys, I'm not much help.
MikeK06 04-21-2008, 12:54 PM Standard Mag Knight and a heat gun - problem solved.
Gixxer Genie 04-21-2008, 01:04 PM These are the new tank pads for our full line of sportbikes - in order of sequence:

If it is not one of the images posted in my responses, then it is not a Genuine Suzuki Accessory.
peasly23 04-21-2008, 01:07 PM Ok... I guess I was misinformed then, because it isn't any of those... dangit! I guess I'll just have to keep looking.

Who manufactures that?
04yellergsxr 04-21-2008, 02:25 PM Looks like a L/P carbon works piece........
peasly23 04-21-2008, 02:27 PM I saw a silver & gray cloth/fabric tank pad on a CBR one time, I've been scouring the internet, but I can't find one of those either.... DAMMIT!!!
InstrumentTech 04-21-2008, 02:31 PM I found a couple on the suzuki site

Thank you! Where did you purchase it from? I'm assuming you're overseas (outside U.S.)?

MySpivey 04-22-2008, 01:22 PM Update, found one site, emailed them about getting one to the US. See what they say.

Thank you for the positive feedback.
peasly23 05-05-2008, 12:21 PM This is the one I was talking about... Where do you find this one and who makes it?
Gixxer Genie 05-05-2008, 12:33 PM This is the one I was talking about... Where do you find this one and who makes it?
That is a Genuine Suzuki GB accessory - only available in Europe.
dietCOKaine 05-05-2008, 11:24 PM IMO tank protector should be one piece, otherwise crap and scratches will get in the spaces. Additionally, the Suzuki stckers look a little cheap and those puffy stickers of my youth. Love Suzuki, but the tank pads and fuel protector stickers do not match the level of craftmanship that the bike has. I do not want to detract from the looks of my bike, but rather enhance it. Why do carbon fiber "look alikes" have to look so un-carbon?
sinajoon7 05-14-2008, 03:15 AM Are you looking for the center pad, side pads, or top tank guard? Let me know and I will assist with p/n.
please send me the link to where i can purchase that same exact center pad, side pads, and top tank guard. that would be greatly appreciated!
k8gsxr750yum 05-26-2008, 08:18 AM Try a 3m tank protector from tankslapper.com
-they make clear stickers that cover your tank....center & sides about "file folder thick" or like 2mm or so.
-they make clear kits that cover almost every inch of your bike for the K7 and almost have they K8 body kit soon.
I just bought the two tank kits
-sticky for $29.99 (thicker)
-non sticky $14.99 (reusable!)
http://www.thetankslapper.biz/online-store/scstore/main.htm
(I did not get my bike wet......I used towels under and around my tank)
(use a super soft "no scratch" piece of material duct taped over your included squeege tool).
They are awsome........
the sticker needs to be wet w/ a couple drops of baby shampoo & 8oz. of water to slide around to get "placement" and to keep finger print off.
The wetness helps push air pockets out as you lay the sticker...its like window tint, but on curves ond thicker!
The thing will stick very well when the air is out.
I will post some pics soon on my blue white K8 750
-The tank looks stock and beautiful! (protected too)
-I can rip it off and do it again whenever I order again.
-soon I will get some of this material under my rear tail to protect my paint.
....I can just rip it off each season when it gets ugly:cheers
k_902 05-26-2008, 08:28 AM I looked at a ton of stick on Pad protectors and nothing seemed to offer that great of protection. The 3M ones are good but for the price difference I went with a tank bra from Suzuki. It protects the tank, as well as offering you much better grip when you squeeze the tank with your legs. My bike is the Black/Orange 750 and you can hardly notice it as it flows with the black on the tank.

98gixxer3 05-26-2008, 08:49 PM How long will the non sticky stay on for? And will the sticky come off easy if needed? Also how do they work? I need to do something my tank is getting scratched so easy.
k8gsxr750yum 05-27-2008, 04:10 PM Tankslapper.com
Didnt even use the non sticky reusable protectors yet....
The 3m (sticky)Tankslapper protectors (choose bike year& model) are awsome.
Use GOO-Gone for old sticky residue or spray wax/road grime remover.
-Honda used to make an awesome product.

-We tried the identical looking (ingregients)can spray from Harley D. believe it not it was watered down!:lol
-The damn foreign stuff wooped ass....
You would have thought that some Harley D. product would be all USA proud and stuff, but oops:cheers cheers to Honda and their spray that is no longer found.
-there is some other brand that is out now. click below

Those are dust/dirt collectors that will scratch the hell out of your tank
mmmbort 05-28-2008, 09:37 AM Are you looking for the center pad, side pads, or top tank guard? Let me know and I will assist with p/n.
can you put up the part numbers for the top and sides in the silver carbon fiber?
I already have the center in silver. It looks great on the blue and white k8.
dragonz20 05-28-2008, 09:49 AM is it me but are all these tank protectors kinda of not that great lookin' to match up with the white and silver 600? i am looking for something silver/white with blue to blend in colorwise instead of adding more new colors. all i see are ones with the red GSX or R logo...
k_902 05-28-2008, 10:02 AM I can still get the Honda spray polish here in Canada. Stuff work great!

dietCOKaine 06-01-2008, 10:58 PM i got this one...
I just emailed Clever wolf cw@cwr.co.jp and received my carbon fiber tank protector. Took about a week and cost $72 OTD with shipping to US. They have limited supplies and it is a very popular so they are selling fast and they are made in batches so you may or may not have to wait a little time for the next batch to be made. Excellent quality and looks much better and protects a lot better than those puffy stickers. Anyway if you can wait a week or two and have $72, I highly recommend it as it will protect your tank and enhance rather than detract from the looks of your ride as those puffy stickers do.

Yes...after seeing your pict and seeing all the carbon like puffy sticker pads- I had to get the real thing. Great service and excellent product. Looks grey in the pict..due to the flash, but if you compare it to the GSXR OEM carbon like trim you can tell without the flash it is pretty black.

98gixxer3 06-03-2008, 06:50 PM Hey diet,
Would u mind getting another pic of it like from behind the bike? Do you think it flows with the bike? From the pic it looks good imo.
NEMES1Sx1st 06-03-2008, 07:09 PM dude just go find one for a k7 that has a narrow bottom end.. since the k8 tanks have narrow bottom ends..that will add .00000000000000000000000% horse power to you and prevent 90% scratches... Get yourself a good pair of frame sliders first!

Is that to me? I got woodcraft cut sliders, and actually it gives you 10 ponies and if you get it with a sticker it adds two more. :cheers

This is my first post on gixxer.com. I am obviously new to the site, but not new to bikes. So if I understand you right, each sticker gives you 2 extra horsepower? :squid :smackbottom
That quote should be a classic!!!

anyway to get one into the states?? any online euro stores sell them?
yellow_monster215 06-23-2008, 07:48 AM Do you know if they sell this in a blue carbon fiber look. I have the Blue and White and I'd like to stay with that color scheme.
Iskender 06-23-2008, 02:49 PM Damn its hard finding a matching tank protector for the new white colour its killing my life.
MySpivey 07-03-2008, 09:48 AM Just wanted to second the props to CleverWolf. Took some time as they had to make some new ones, but the product is great. Perfect fit and finish, its true CF, feels great and very strong. One of the details I love most is that from certain angles, because of the weave I got, you cant see it. Almost chameleon you might say. These are some rough pictures to give you an idea what she looks like. They really don't do it justice though!
08-7fiddy 07-05-2008, 03:03 AM How did you guys pay for the cleverwolf cover and is it an adhesive like tankslapper
Davismi 07-05-2008, 08:21 AM I'd also like to know how they are attached to the tank, some kind of adhesive backing on the carbon fibre or do you need to glue it onto the tank with a certain glue product? I just emailed them and they told me the plain weave is instock right now and that the twill or diagonal weave will be ready in a few weeks. Im in Australia and they told me it would cost 6090 yen for the plain weave and 7140 yen for the twill weave. Shipping is 1680 yen so i converted the prices into Aussie dollars and it works out to be just under $60 for the plain weave and just under $70 for the twill weave, the shipping will cost me just under $17. Looks like im gonna order one.
08-7fiddy 07-05-2008, 01:55 PM I got the same email back asking for my credit card # for payment, just wondering if anyone used the credit card to buy or did they use a different form of payment. Im not real comfortable giving my credit card # away via email or fax.
MySpivey 07-05-2008, 03:23 PM I got the twill weave. It attaches via 4m strips. No special glues and can come back off, just a LOT of mini 3m strips.
As for payment, ya, you have to email them or fax them your credit card info. Risky but only way for it to work so i hear. As for shipping, took some time but showed up as expected!
Djinn 07-05-2008, 04:23 PM I looked at a ton of stick on Pad protectors and nothing seemed to offer that great of protection. The 3M ones are good but for the price difference I went with a tank bra from Suzuki. It protects the tank, as well as offering you much better grip when you squeeze the tank with your legs. My bike is the Black/Orange 750 and you can hardly notice it as it flows with the black on the tank.

Can you post pics of it... I have the blk orange and im trying to decide between a whole cover and a pad.
08-7fiddy 07-05-2008, 10:10 PM I have the blk and orange also and thinking about going with the tank bra to cover more area. I hear they collect dust and sand causing a sandpaper effect, any thoughts.
Djinn 07-05-2008, 10:27 PM not a whole lot of sand where i live but i can see dust and gravel and other crap getting in there ... maybe just a good weekly check of it or possibly more often if you live near a sandy area on the coast or something ?

We talking small gravel i hope lol, if you only see dust gathering up on the backside material, a weekly cleaning should be ok. How long have you had the tank bra and how does your tank look now.
Davismi 07-06-2008, 03:43 AM Anyone who ordered the Clever Wolf tank protector, how did you pay for it? Did you go for the credit card number via email or did you fax it to them? How long did you wait for the tank protector to arrive?

Paid credit card and the cool thing is that they never reply back to your email with the credit card number and always start a new email so your info is not bouncing back and forth. Took me 2 weeks to get mine, because they were backordered. Great service and always replied back to me on a daily basis.
I was also a little hesitant about emailing the info, but now I have the protector and I have not seen any extra charges and stuff. Since everyone else just makes puffy stickers and not real nice looking CF like the CW one, it is the only way to go. After all, how much protection is the maxi pad thin puffy sticker going to do? It only protects a couple inches in the center.

Serto 08-10-2008, 09:24 PM My buddy got the exact same center pad as in the pic you posted, but he got it at a local bike shop in san jose the same day he got his bike. So maybye one of your local shops can order it for you.
BigGSXR600 08-10-2008, 10:50 PM anyone have any luck getting ahold of clever wolf racing i'v emailed 5 times with no response
I finally got a response after 3 emails. Perhaps persistence is the key?

AFitchguy07 08-18-2008, 07:49 AM alright guys i have a dilemma here between these two tank protectors. this is mainly for you white/silver owners but anyone feel free to chip in. which do you think would look best on the white/silver gixxer?
dragonz20 08-18-2008, 09:24 AM i would say the white one looks better. I've been looking around for a tank protector with some blue in it. the one you are showing is nice but I wish the GSXR logo was blue instead of red. The only concern I have is if this tank protector gets dirty easily. Does anybody have this white tank protector and is able to comment on it...?
AFitchguy07 08-18-2008, 11:38 AM i would say the white one looks better.

yeah that's one of the things i am concerned about.. that and how it would look ON the bike ya know. i know how the black one looks from the OP picture he has it on my bike's colors. helps out a lot haha. if anyone is in the mood to photoshop the white pad onto a white/silver tank, be my guest!!! then again i like the black one cause it stand out and brings the side cf panels out too but the white brings out the blue.. idk

When I get home from work today, I'll snap a pic of mine. Its not the same as the one you have there. But I think you'll like it. I also have a white/silver k8 600. Its a suzuki pad too.

I believe its called the speedvision or some crapola. The pad is actually clear so its the tanks color that comes through it. The black and the red are the only colors that come on it. I like it quite a bit.
I'll snap better shots outside tomorrow or something. For now, those garage shots will have to suffice. :cheers

i'm still undecided. if you get it, mind shooting up a couple pictures on this thread so i can check it out? appreciate it.
crazybizzle69 09-01-2008, 06:01 PM Do you know if suzuki makes the winged tank pad for the 08 750's?? if not you think the 1000 one can be moded to fit without looking bad??

think i'll get it. problem is... i don't know where... do u have the link to the store to get it?
crazybizzle69 09-04-2008, 01:32 PM I think you may have seen the following "winged" tank pad designed for the K7/K8 1000. Unfortunately, these accessories will not fit the 750/600.
Do you think the "winged" pad would fit the k8 750 if moded? where at or how doesnt it fit cause i was about to buy one to fit on my 750??

The upper portion of the tank where the pad begins its "wings" is not the same dimension for both the 1000 and 750/600. 1000 is pictured below on the left and 750 on the right.

All well ,i really hope they make the winged design for the 600/750's. thanks

DropKickNick 03-27-2009, 05:39 PM I know this is an old thread, but curious to the owners of the CW tank protector. How has it held up for you guys. I'm thinking of purchasing one for my 750. I appreciate any info...thanks

Thanks, just have to wait 3 weeks now for it to arrive.
Honer 04-01-2009, 05:48 PM Just wanted to second the props to CleverWolf. Took some time as they had to make some new ones, but the product is great. Perfect fit and finish, its true CF, feels great and very strong. One of the details I love most is that from certain angles, because of the weave I got, you cant see it. Almost chameleon you might say. These are some rough pictures to give you an idea what she looks like. They really don't do it justice though!
LOL! I have a same bike in a same color and same helmet! :)
Honer 04-01-2009, 06:01 PM Guys!
Why don't you pay via paypal on the CWR website?

jmg33188 03-24-2010, 06:27 PM How's everyone? I'm new to the forum and am looking for a tank pad/protector. I ride a black/orange k8 750. It seems, based on the responses, that the clever wolf carbon tank pad is the best bet. Just wanted to get some opinions on how you guys think it would look with my color bike. I was also thinking about going with possibly the Suzuki bra or their carbon tank pad. But, as has been mentioned, the suzuki tank pad doesn't cover as much area. Is the CW one an actual "pad" or just just a protector? Thanks : )
