Carbon Fiber Decals

Anyone aware of the carbon fiber pads/decals you put on the tank, tree, etc to protect the bike from scratches? I cannot find anything for a 2014 N1K blue.

I tried different tank protectors and they peeled up in the sun (sometimes I ride in the desert in the summer). The progrip tank pad seems to be holding well and I've seen it on other N1ks and Z1000s.
amazon, ebay, etc will have plenty of carbon tank pads.
techspec makes a heavy duty black tank pad in addition to side tank pads.
Kawi sells a nice clear tank protector. If you look closely you can see a carbon fiber gas ring I found on Ebay also.

The progrip pads do hold up well, however i'm not a fan of the shape. They fit perfect on my old TL1000, but with the drastic shape of the N1K tank, the lines are way off and I don't like how it looks. i hope they come out with something that fits the lines better, like the Kawi one above.

I think I got that same gas ring on Ebay. $12. Very nice.
There is a company called DIMOTIV based in taiwan and they have some CF decals for the N1k. I ordered the side mirror cover and speedometer decal too.

Now that's what I'm talking about! I like it. It's in my list!
So how did you order. I went to their website and gave my info. But no way to actually buy it?
Do you need German Marks?
Amazon sells dimotiv products but not sure if they sell these.

Found that last night. The only issue is they sell you two sets on Amazon. And reading some of the feedback from other buyers, looks like you have to pay import taxes when it gets delivered. I'll look for a US based seller for these in the future. I got screwed on eBay in the past with buying from a foreign seller and said I would never do that again. The products look great though that's for sure!
Tech Spec - Snake Skin Tank Grip Pads is pretty cool. They're not in blue, but work very well.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 2 techspec pads. The C3 looks to be more padded than the snake skin. can anyone offer a comparision between the 2? much appreciated and thanks.
I have the Progrip and don't think it looks bad at all. Its only been on for a couple of weeks to I can't vouch for its durability but so far so good.

I just did the Kawi one.. very expensive and being clear it shows where it doesnt have 100% adhesion, tried smoothing several times and a blow dryer.. It may need to fully stick overnight (I hope).

I just ordered this kit for my dash area to get the carbon fiber look. Was expensive but realized it has 2 kits in the package. So I will probably sell the other when I get it and install one on mine. It matches the ones I already have on my gas cap and the pro grip pad I have for the tank.

Was this from a domestic vendor on Amazon?

I have the tank pad and the gas cover but the dash pieces would be a nice addition. I'd put carbon fiber on my toilet seat if I was single.
