Default Tank skin
After joining a sportsters group on facebook these italian dudes were posting up some interesting ****. I got real interested in this tank skin this guy had from: http://www.2ndskin.biz/



I was wondering if you guys knew of something similar here in the states so I don't have to order it from Italy.

Yes, I've seen something similar at Lowes. It was called spray paint and masking tape.

Lol, thanks. Not really getting this for the aesthetics though, got in an accident awhile back broke my wrist and just rebuilt everything except for the tank dents and the scratched paint, just want to keep it covered so it doesn't rust so hard before I save the cash to get the tank painted and dents removed.

if i wanted this, my Fiance would sew it for me. I bet she'd charge me labor for it though lol. It's cool but......new tanks are probably cheaper than these

have you looked at the cost of an efi tank lately? These skins would hold moisture so it would rust faster. maybe
