According to the company, the tank skin offers protection without compromising the looks of the machine because the skin is designed to mimic the paint scheme 00 the tank as it comes from the factory. You may not even be able to tell there's a skin on by looking at the picture (especially in black and white, as it is here): but it's there. The coordinating seat skin is designed to runher enhance the looks of the bike while the rear seat is incorpOtated into the design, instead of looking like some hardly functional black pad where the rear cowling should be.
