The TankSlapper paint protection

[TownPlanner]

I am just having the side bags for my 2006 RT repainted and interested in using the side bag protectors to avoid this expense again. I am interested in whether anyone has any experience with http://www.thetankslapper.biz/? They look pretty interesting.

I have used their 3M kits on my RT (total kit) and on my KLR. Very satisfied with both the product and with the company.

Morning TownPlanner. Here's my $0.02: Recently put the tankslapper tops on my '09 RT sidecases to avoid boot scuffs, particularly from the occasional two-up mounting & dismounting. Cheap, very easy application, and they won't be noticed - literally can't see them from more than a few feet, and won't see them even up close without inspection. Hasn't shown any tendency to "peel off." I didn't, and won't, bother with a full application. In the most gentle non-moving driveway laydown, they might protect some on the side of the sidecases - though even then I suspect there would be a little scratching. On the other hand, bugs, boot scuffs, scuffs from fairly abrasive cordura overpants, they'll easily protect from that stuff.

I've had this product on my '05 RT since I bought the bike new and it works flawlessly.
