    When I enquired, they told me that per square feet it will cost Rs. 550.

    Any idea about the diameter of our tank ?
    some of our fellow riders have done it in Mumbai it will cost you around 5k just for the tank.
    They find it worth it.

I couldn't find anyone in Bangalore to do that so I initially bought cut pieces meant for ninja 650 old model and it was a direct fit for the leg flanks and tank between seat and fuel cap. Auto Services Bangalore charged me a bomb (2k)for 3 pieces. I was using tank bags so needed coverage in front too so I bought the sheets off eBay and fixed it myself. Was much cheaper compared to what I paid in Autoservice.

        Hey Shashank, I don't know will it fit or not, but its worth trying the dukes crash bars for the tnt.. might fit and can get at much lower cost. If it fits then well and good.

          Won't fit. The Duke ones use a thinner mount Bolt.

          Why 5k... The Benelli ones are for 4k.

            Yes I was just exaggerating

            4.2k are the framer sliders and 500 for labour right ?

              They did not charge me any labour charge. [emoji12] I was the first one to fix in Bangalore. As soon as the consignment came. May be they forgot.

                    Surprising because its still a new bike, and he also has got many after market parts fitted to it, and was very enthusiastic about his bike too right from the delivery to his recent rides, so I thought he is planning to keep the bike for a long time....

                      I got mine fixed as soon as got the bike (Benelli 7.5k ones )

I took the test drive of the TNT 300 under various traffic conditions before R3 TD and also after R3 TD(but this time from a colleague). On my first TD of the TNT , i was blown away and i loved the exhaust note and the engine.I felt the sluggishness , but then I assumed this was due to the sales person sitting pillion.Then after the R3 TD, again i Test drove my colleague's TNT. After that I understood what the TNT is made for. The TNT is a mile muncher and not for breaking straight line records.The R3 well is as in Yamaha's words "Lightweight Supersport for Everyday use"
                          Both Engines have been derived from the R6 but tuned differently slight changes in Bore & Stroke TNT is 30kgs heavier than the R3 hence sluggish

                            I am not going to spend for the 3M PPF now. Ill get the frame sliders fixed this month.

                              You should invest on the sliders first considering the fact that the beast is 196kgs. About the PPF I haven't done it on my cbr250r and yet there are not so visible scratches on the tank. It has been a year since I started using a DIY magnetic tank bag for touring and nothing has happened.
                              Ride Safe!

                              Cheers,

                                Get the frame sliders first a dent is more costly than a scratch.
