I would like to get a tank protector for my grey naked, but I can't really decide what would work well with the grey paint and what design would be best fit. I would really like techspec type grip pads for the sides and top of tank but don't think there are specific ones made yet for our tank.

Can you all post up what you've used and what you would suggest? Cheers in advance 🍺

Getting 3M matte clear film applied to parts of the tank and tailpiece the week after next. I didn't want obvious protection to spoil the lines of the bike. I had the gloss equivalent on my black Street Triple and it was virtually invisible.

Suzuki have some patterned stick ons for the sides of the tank. Not very grippy but protect the paint and the graphics look pretty good.

I just put on clear stompgrips on the tanksides on my grey F. I bought universal ones and cut them with a scissor. I'm looking for a clear tank pad to replace the black one the dealer put on.

Anders-Any chance you could post a pic? How is the grip on the sides of the tank?

I emailed techspec and if you mail them a template of the shape you want they will smooth out the lines and mirror it to give you a pair of nice looking tank pads. That was my plan once the bike arrives.

I actually really like the black r&g pads I recently put on. Didn't know how they would look on the grey tank, but I actually like the look allot. And the grip of them is a plus.

For the moment I have simple carbon tankpad from ali express (5$)
It's not on mu priority list to change it

The lower part of the stomgrips was just using parts that was left over. I just might need them on trackdays but that is for next year as the season is ending here. Normaly we have temps below freezing in just a week or two. The middle pic is just to show off the powerbronze crashpads and frontaxle crashpads.

It's almost impossible to show because it's so unobtrusive but I had matte 3M clearfilm applied to the tank and rear cowl of my matte grey "S" today. The attached photo is the best I can do showing the tank from above. You can see the very fine line where the clearfilm ends, about 2/3 to the right of the photo.

Very pleased indeed with the result. Flawless job on the compound curves of the rear cowl and feel comfortable about fitting my throw-over luggage now.

Hi @Anders,

Just bought a new gsx1k and am on the hunt for a tank pad. That one is perfect - where did you buy it from please - link / seller?

I went with a Suzuki Genuine GSXS-1000 carbon look tank pad and R&G Racing traction pads (specifically for our bike). I think they look pretty sweet.

I got mine on ebay. Looks nice on the black tank.

TechSpec are the best IMHO. Stomp grips look fine but those nubs wore out the inside of my leathers. I just purchased the generic TechSpec and cut them out myself.

Should've gone to specsavers!!

I ordered the full suzuki "carbon fiber" tank protection kit- Large top tank pad, side pads, and gas cap stickers. Also the carbon fiber heel guards. Was hoping to install them today, but USPS is crap.

I think the paint on the suzuki is a little thin. The sides and top of my tank already have more scuffs from my riding pants at 280 miles than my R6 did when I traded it in with 16,000 miles.
