    83-84 250r Tank Protectors

    Back in 87 ,my original 84 250r had thick white vinyl tank protectors made by a company called Tri Max. I've never seen another R with them since. Any info?pics? Thinking of reproducing them for my current R. Thanks Click image for larger version.

    That's just a tank skin. What the Madman is talking about are, if I'm not mistaken, decals that adhered to the tank.

    Yes, I believe so. If I remember correctly, Tri-Max also made unbreakable, plastic skidplates for many models of 3-wheelers.

    those are pretty cool. would be an easy way to freshen up a tank that killed some knees in its day.
