Hi everyone. We've received many requests over the last couple of years for a lockable storage compartment for the 2013+ Zeros and we've finally got something we think you'll like. We have available now and in stock a three piece Carbon Fiber Kit that includes a front fender, seat cowl and a lockable tank lid to replace the tank bag. You can see the pictures below or check out our website for more info at hollywoodelectrics.com.

Nice !!   That's a great look for the whole lineup.

VERY nice, and I like it BUT... I'm considering a Charge Tank, which would (unfortunately) make this a moot point.

[MrDude_1]

ever have the idea for something... and then later you see a pic of exactly what you were thinking.

This is it. This is awesome. even the finish is just right.

Only one question.... How in the world do they attach it to the plastics when they're melted plastic rivets?

[BrianTRice@gmail.com]

These were really nice to see in person!

I'm putting Harlan's tank lid over my supercharger just for maintenance access, but am going to reinforce it a bit with some firm backing. The mount is designed to fit easily into the bin container and locks with the helmet/bin lock, so I'll figure out the rear attachment for that.

I'll probably just buy a fresh set of power tank sport plastics just to have a fresh install.

Although, maybe I should just use the original tank bin and carve out most of it; that'd do for a first version.

I saw this kit at the Zero 10th Anniversary Party, and its really nice.

Does the tank cover keep the contents dry in wet weather?

That is gorgeous, but I'm with JaimeC. It's not compatible with mounting the Diginow in the tank location, so I can't do it.

When I had my bike wrapped, I had him wrap some of the cheap plastic-looking pieces (rear fender, battery box side covers, even the "reflectors" on the Givi trunk) with a carbon fiber wrap, and it really spruced up the bike. Unfortunately it's just a cheap vinyl wrap and it's not all that durable. I'd pay a fair buck for some real carbon fiber pieces that will look as good as this tank does indefinitely. It's hard to overstate how much those cheap plastic parts drag down the appearance of the bike.

When I asked Hollywood Electrics at the Zero event they said it was water tight.

After looking at it I think it would be fine in rain but I wouldn't point a power washer at it with stuff I didn't want to get wet inside.

Thanks for all the positive replies.

The tank cover attaches easily in only a few minutes without even having to remove the tank from the bike. You simply drill two small holes at the rear of the tank and use a couple of self tapping screws, or rivets if you prefer.

The tank cover is not water tight but it fits to the tank perfectly to minimize water penetration. On the bike you see here in the pics, we've upholstered the tank bag holder for a better seal but alternatively you can use thin piece of weather stripping, or a rubber bulb seal. Its really up to the installer to decide.

Even if the tank cover is not for you, the carbon fender and seat cowl really add a lot to the look of the bike.

Thanks Brian! I think the original tank with the bag holder will work great if you just trim it neatly . You can use some edge trim from the auto parts store to cleanup the cut edge if you are concerned about the looks.

Thanks, Harlan.

For the watertightness concern, you might line the underside with a gasket or rubbery layer. I'm considering it.

I just realized this bike also has my favorite grips on it. lol. Renthal G148
