Tank Protection Film - The Tank Slapper

I'd fitted this stuff to the FZ1N before, and I think it's a much better option than the regular tank protectors because it offers a lot more coverage without the naff look. It seemed like an obvious solution to protecting the tank on the new R1. Check out the installation video for the static version...

So I ordered the 3 piece 3M adhesive kit and fitted it today. It came up ok, but the blue paint on the R1 definitely shows up my mistakes a lot worse than the yellow FZ1 did.

When you consider the $30 + shipping price tag, it compares really well to the alternative 'buckle guard' style tank protectors.
