Default Tankslappers Protectors

Has anyone here used these?
http://www.thetankslapper.biz/

Looks interesting. Now that I'm using a tank bag more, I want something to protect the top of my tank. Preventing scratches from sliding my leg around it would be nice too. I've already found a few small scuffs.

Is your bike a parking lot queen or something you actually ride?

I ride the hell out of it. Doesn't mean I want it to be scratched to hell.

Get a Stomp Grip if you're worried about your knees scratching your tank.

They look like shit, and I don't need the extra grip. Besides, they don't cover the top where my tankbag sits.

The Tankslapper is good quality stuff. The non-adhesive version will not stick to anything but a glossy surface, though.

If you're the one who bought a set of track wheels because you plan on doing track days, you'll want Stomp grip, trust me. It's one of those things that you don't appreciate it til you try it, but you'll appreciate it. I know I do.
