Mag-Knight magnetic tank protectors - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I saw this on my buddy's GSX-R600; looks absolutely beautiful. One can't tell there's actually a tank protector on the bike at all!

Magnetic Tank Pads, Bra & Motorcycle Protector - Mag-Knight

Unfortunately, there aren't any applications for our FZ6R. If there are enough folks who show interest, perhaps I can take it to Mag-Knight to see if they'd create color-matched applications for us.

I'm most interested in their color-matched tank bra: Motorcycle Tank Protector - Magnetic Tank Bra by Mag-Knight

Any takers?

Add me on that list.

how much does it cost?

I like the look of the carbon fiber pad sitting on the tank. Just adds a bit more detail IMO.

Looking at their site, it looks like those of you wanting a black protector will be $79; color matched or carbon-look for $99.

For me, I can't stand how the popular "sticker" type belt buckle/tank protectors look, nor am I pleased with something adhesive (read: messy to remove). This preserves the color of your bike, and won't yellow like clear film.

OK, I've sent a letter to Mag-Knight; I'll keep folks updated here if/when I hear back from them.

... aaaaand...

Absolutely nothing.

I might as well have sent my letters into a black hole. No response, not even an automated "Nah, not interested" letter, nothing.

Sigh.

Anyone else want to give it a go? Otherwise, mod(s), feel free to delete or otherwise let die...

I find myself emailing black holes often too....its a shame when a company doesn't value its customers enough to even dignify them with a simple email explaining themselves....

I won't buy from a company that does that. Take T-Rex for example. I wanted to order their slider's for my bike. I called the owner back in december, he told me to send him an email and he would get on it.....no response back from the email, still two months later....sad.

Disclaimer: I know many have had great success with T-Rex and have nothing but positive regard for the company, however this was not my case.

Oh well, good try. I'm not sure about the marketing numbers, but I think Yamaha hit a market sweet spot with the FZ6R(can anyone confirm?!).
As for companies that don't want to adapt and sell their product to our little segment, I say: THEY'RE LOSS!!!
