I use the Tankslapper clear film for the bags. Works great and the new style is all one piece. Plus you can't even tell it's there. ~$13.

Indeed PH, I pulled the trigger on the Ohlins after only 12 beers...

Edit

This is way closer to my $ range. ~~Thanks Conrad~~.

Dang it Conrad, that $13 just turned into $62. I had to buy the whole kit.

You gotta make sure that you get the most out of that shipping charge right?

When you install, make sure that the bike is clean and that things are warmed up a bit. Take the bags in the house and get em warmed up that way, the bike too.

You can't see it too well but the film covers the whole top of the bag and extends down the front. I tried to take photos of the tank and fender but they didn't come out well enough. Wll try again later.

Looks like Techspec just came out with some protection for the side bags now too...

I kind of dig that.

I think if I were going to give those Tech Spec bag protectors a try, I'd go with the High Fusion version. It's much thinner and you don't really need any grip like the Snakeskin gives you.

I have the Snakeskin on my tank. I love it.

Ok, fine!

After only 3 beers for motivation I've decided to once again be the guinnea pig for you guys... I just ordered up a set of the snake skin ones...

I'll let you know my thoughts when they arrive and if you're lucky post some pics.

i just ordered me a set in snakeskin to match my tank pads, although the picture is the same for both textures.... time will tell.
my loving wife scratched the top of my saddlebag to get back at me for one of the numerous ways i have wronged her.... 90 bucks is cheaper than replacing the whole lid.

Plus, it's cheaper to keep her
