I got in on a group buy for Second Look tank skins in July of 2009. I installed it on August 2, 2009, and finally got around to uploading pics. The installation was easier than it had sounded and only took a few minutes.

I have a 2008 FJR1300A, so it's black. I chose the half-skin Black Carbon skin, TSY0613. (Not the one with FULL in parentheses.)

I've had it on for nearly 6 months now, and have no complaints about it. I ordered it because I was starting to see signs of scratching and scuffing on the tank where the jacket zippers touched it; the skin is showing no signs of wear or abrasion at all, which is great.

I had been worried about it catching some air somewhere and starting to flap in the wind, but so far it hasn't done that with either my daily commute (20 miles each way) nor the 2-day 950 mile run I did to Idaho.

All in all, I'm quite happy with this farkle.

Love mine. I kept the Tank Slapper film I had on before underneath and have had no issues.
