Tech Spec's Snake Skin tank and air box panels...

[buell-fan]

These TechSpec Snake Skin tank and air box pads rock! First and foremost, they are a diamond pattern that is raised up enough (about 1/32") to let air flow between your leg and the hot ass gas tank so it keeps both you (and maybe the bike) a bit cooler. Second, and what they were designed for, the grip is phenomenal. They are not a perfect fit at this point because the company is using a freehand cutting pattern someone sent them and they haven't invested in a dedicated pattern cutout, (per our conversation when I ordered my set) but it isn't too bad and I can live with it. When EBR gets the ball rolling selling bikes again I suspect that TechSpec will get their ducks in a row and have a dedicated pattern that fits perfectly to all the bike's lines and corners. For now they will cut to order; which was $102.95 to the door, and well worth it considering the differences between having them or not on this 89° day.

Here's the link to check them out, http://techspec-usa.com/magento/inde...uell/1125r.htm You will have to call in the order as they don't have a photo or link for the EBR yet.

Guys, these are a must have. I have one of the original prototypes from Tech Spec on my bike. They are phenomenal and completely worth it.

Yep, the guy who used to own the bike above and I worked with tech spec to develop these for the 1190s. We went back and forth for a few months on design. Very happy with Tech spec, their customer service, and quality.

Glad you spoke up, noone1569. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder. You guys rocked it with tech spec. ����

Which center pad are you guys using for the center? Universal #5?

[buell-fan]

I cut my own center piece just today using the TechSpec Snakeskin material that they sent this week to fulfill my previous order. It is shorter than I would have liked. The finished center piece measures 5.5" tall and 6.5" at it's widest point. It could have wrapped up over the air box a good 6" more and I would have been really pleased, but it looks good and is functional. TechSpecs customer service rocks, btw.

Just ordered a snake skin set for the frame. $75 plus shipping. Had to set it up through email as they aren't on the site.
