Tank Cover

[Fred D]

The folks over on the CBR1100XX (http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=37366&st=0) forum are working a group buy with Second Look (http://www.second-look.com/) for tank covers.

I've approached Roger of Second Look about a group buy for the ST1300 if there's enough interest? He currently only makes the half cover (as shown) for STs.

[babybear]

What would be the price point? Very nice looking!

[bygdawg]

I'm in if the price is right.

[jgilmore]

I bought one a while back before the second-look website kind of "disappeared" for a while. I had thought they gone out of business, I am glad to see they are still around.

It is a really nice and well made cover. I've had mine for almost two years. I believe I paid something like $99.00 at the time.

I'm really interested if the price is right. A full cover would be even better !!

[dond]

I've had mine about 3 years now and it looks as new.

[wojo_rides]

I have a call into them (Second Look) today...Just waiting for them to return my call...I will ask if they have a group buy available for the STOC and get back with you all...There web site currently seems to be down...Cheers Wojo_Rides.

Can someone fill me in why I would need one of these? Is it just for looks, or does it have a real protection value......

[FL-STRIDER]

Looks really nice, depending on price, count me in

I think it helps to protect the tank from scratches and/or the occasional splash of gas. The jury is still out on how it will effect my magnetic tank bag, probably not much.

you know thats the only reason I don't use a tankbag, because I don't want the tank scratched to hell and back. If I could find a bag (magnetic or otherwise) that wouldn't, I would buy one yesterday.

I have a Joe Rocket Manta magnetic tank bag, the tank cover does not affect it.

[STJMG]

I am definately interested- price?? JG

[STJMG]

Do you think a magnetic tank bag will still work???

[Florida Paul]

I am in. I have tank dent and don't want to spend $600 on a tank. Let me know. Thanks:biker: :biker: :) :) :)

[Daryl]

Count me in..........for the right price!

[bygdawg]

Do you think a magnetic tank bag will still work???

It might, depending on how far forward you place the bag. I would think the contact pts. on the rear would be a bit of an issue because you'd have something between the metal and the magnet. Just my .02 though.

[Dorian]

I like that half cover. I'm in if the price is under $90.00.

[Rob Hephner]

A price would be good.

[Fred D]

Apologies for not getting more info sooner, have been on the road....and off the road, (see http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16628).

Price before group buy discount is around $89.95.

[Pete]

Yes, count me in.

[gene]

what's the discount price ???

[puffmtd]

I'm in. Just holler when it all gets worked out.

[Vrn_James]

Count me in, if the price is right. I like the looks of it...

[ShinySideUpAZ]

Are we talking Full cover or Half. I would be interested in a full cover.

[Fred D]

Are we talking Full cover or Half. I would be interested in a full cover.

At this time, he only offers the half cover.

I'll contact him, and see if I can get his group buy price.

[XWINGER]

Please add me to the list. Thanks for all the research you've done. I want one.

How and when are we going to pay?

How and when can we expect delivery?

[100MPG]

I am interested. Spent more then a few miles trying to rest one arm on a VERY slippery tank this weekend.

[Fred D]

Thanks to all who have expressed an interest.

I have a pm into Roger at Second Look, working out the details. I'll keep everyone posted....

[sportT]

I will be needing one for my st1100 pretty soon. Do they make one?

[Banzai2001]

I would be interested in one, would prefer a full tank cover if they should decide to make one.

[Fred D]

AFAIK, he doesn't make a cover for the 1100.

[dond]

I run magnetic tank bags w/o any problem w/the SL cover. You will rarely see my bike w/o a bag. Tank looks fine after 80K miles. Check the mag bottom before flopping it on and yer good to go. I have found some objects stuck on it from time to time.
Your call...............

[JellyRoll]

I'm in!

[STJMG]

Any update on this ????

[AZST]

For the right price....I may be in.

Any thoughts on the Mag Knight tank bra?

Only color matched for 03 models I think, but offer black or carbon look options.

http://www.mag-knight.com/

[Ashalina]

I would be interested.

[Fred D]

This is the carbon fiber tank protector from Mag-Knight. Anyone have experience with these magnetic tank protectors?

[puffmtd]

I've got one and it does a fine job. The only problem I had is fitting it to the bike. It's not by any means a "plug and play" installation. You might have better luck than I did but if not, you will need a heat gun. I spent about two hours with a blow dryer before springing for a heat gun to get the bra to form fit in some of the curves.

[06rider]

anything going on with the group buy???

[Fred D]

[rasputin]

+1 on price..but interested ..they look great!

[sparky]

I'd be interested if the price is good. If this works out, please let me know. I'll be out of the country for about 10 days at the end of March and beginning of April.

[bygdawg]

Didn't they give up on this group buy?

[Scott-R]

Here is the response I received from Second-Look when I asked for a price. This was sent March 7th.

Attached is a picture of the ST1300 tank skin. We offer the one

Isn't that the same price that was quoted earlier without any group buy???

[CDNolddude]

With over 1800 views and lots of replies, second-look could be missing out on a lot of sales for a group buy, unless everyone is just going to buy them anyways without a discount as they arent a bad price in the first place.

[krotchrocketgrampa]

I couldnt find a bra for my 06,second look wa sout of stock,so my wife,who is a professional seamstress made me one, and she has sold 10 on ebay,with 100% feedback,she has recenctly found a nice silver grey and is making them, all sell for $80.00 with free shipping

MAN, THAT LOOKS NICE!!! I'm off to Mag Knight !:bow1:

[Sylvain]

Have you got pics GRAMPA?

+1 on that.

[Mr Bill]

It looks great. Certainly would be a better farkle than adding the stock pads for the side of the tank.

Count me in as well.
