I have the Whole Tankslapper kit and love it. I am also putting a few feet of this stuff on my wish list for christmas just for incidental areas! I only wish someone had a 14 mil kit for the belly wing when I first got my bike!!! Now my paint is hashed and I am in pain every time I clean my bike and see the damage inflicted to this area!

I bought some of this from this guy and it worked perfect.
Have it on my tank in the wear areas.
You could put it anywhere over the paint also.

I am getting ready to order the full kit from the tankslapper.com and from what I have seen is that they do the job well especially on the front fender and other high wear areas. They save from having to repaint because of rock chips and stuff like that.

Lamb wishes he used this. One would think it is UV protected.?? That is a question, does anybody know if it is?
The tail piece of the missile is starting to fade from it being red and all. Lamb is thinking that a film of this applied over said piece could prevent it from fading.
The front frender, though, is a terrific spot for this.

Dont quote me on this but I had read one time that you dont want the film to have any UV filtering because it will eventually fade on the unprotected areas and the paint under the film will be newer and unfaded.
since everyone is mentioning what they DO like I'll mention what I don't. I bought a few feet of this products and it looks very cheesy. It looks and feels like foil. Scratches easy and the carbon fiber print looks very fake. I would never put this on my bike.

i am using another equivalent sticker
it is really good, it is pre cut to the head fairing and the strength of the sticker is good. almost "unbreakable"

I use that stuff only when I use a tailbag or saddle bags. I put it on the areas when the tie down straps touch the body. I know the straps aren't suspose to leave a mark, but they do. So, I put that film stuff on, and then when I remove the bags, the film comes off. No scratches or marks yet!
When I get SpudleyBusa repainted, I'm going to do the front fender, the lower leading edges, and the upper cowl around the headlight.....too many triple-digit sustained runs with KAMAKAZI BUGS....I'm tellin' ya....they chip the paint.... :oldcool:

I use a 3m tape that is considerd helicopter tape. from what im told there put this stuff on the blades of helicopters. I use is on my lower fairing and also around the radiator. It works awsome but a little on the expensive side. If you love your paint this is what u need
