APCh8r Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) I recently picked up a set of these for my 06 R6. Unfortantly the 06+ R6 tank design sticks past the frame and during a wreck will crush in, split the tank and can cause the bike to catch on fire.http://www.eti-fuelcel.com/r6g.htmlFrom ETI's website:Since their introduction back in June of 2007, our R6 tank guards have helped a number of rider/owners from barbequing their investment on the track. Designed to help reduce the possibility of impact abrasion related failures of the stock tank, these protectors form fit the tank and front cover. Produced using the same materials utilized in our lightweight fuel tank construction they now include 6 layers of kevlar at the most vulnerable spots on the stock tank. Besides looking good they help transmit impact loads over a larger area further reducing the energy to be absorbed by the stock tank. HARDWARE KIT AND INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED. The reason I went with these instead of the Traction Dynamic's version because it provides more coverage.Here is a picture of a tank after going down with the ETI's.Here is with the Traction Dynamic's sliders/hockey pucksI bought my tank sliders from Hollow Point Racing. Great customer service, great prices, quick shipping. Contact me if you are interested on these and I can get you a price.
