I currently have God Father Race plastics on my bike. Not too pleased with them but they did the job.

Just wondering which skins would be my best investment.

Catalyst Racing Composites or Armour Bodies are good and Lithium Motorsports is the cheapest place to buy from. Give Rob a call at 1-800-894-7190.
I know how you feel about Godfather I have used them in the past. It seem everytime the bike went down I had to rebuild them. For the price I was ok with that but when their prices went up I expected more. This year I used a better set (out of bussiness now) and only had to make minor repairs. It was nice to lowslide the bike and be able to pick it backup and go.

I'll second the Armour Bodies.  I've used the same set on my SV650 since 2003.  I just ordered two sets for the 2008 CBR600RR that I don't even have yet.

I'm using some ebay specials...well, ebay seconds.  They are pretty good for the money.  I dropped $300 for two sets shipped.

But I have always had the best luck with Sharkskinz.

In the past I have used:  Armor Bodies, Hotbodies, Rennsport, Godfather, Air Tech, Sharkskinz, Morse, Beasley and others.

I've been very happy with Sharkskinz also. They crash well and are easily repaired. Not that I would know this. :banghead:

Yeah, it would make your life easier, wouldn't it.  :biggrin:

HEY, only one of those tanks are my fault! The other one came that way.

From what I've run in the past, I'd go with Armorbodies over Sharkskinz, but only just, either one is quality product.
