DescriptionThe whole story▼
When every session demands the best from both machine and rider, the LighTech CARY9990 carbon tank protectors deliver race-grade surface protection with the premium gloss finish to match. Precision autoclave-manufactured carbon fibre keeps weight to an absolute minimum while shielding the YZF-R6 RJ27 tank against the constant abrasion of leathers, zips and boots that track riding inevitably brings.
Key Features
- Exact fit for Yamaha YZF-R6 RJ27 (2017–2026) — no modifications, no compromises
- Autoclave-cured carbon fibre construction: lighter than OEM equivalents, with exceptional rigidity and impact resistance
- High-gloss lacquered finish delivers a race-team aesthetic straight from the box
- Protects the tank surface from zip, buckle and boot abrasion during aggressive riding positions on track
- Quick, clean installation using the supplied fixing hardware or adhesive pads
- Low-maintenance surface — clean with a neutral, pH-balanced cleaner to preserve the gloss coat
Built for the Track, Designed to Last
LighTech's carbon components are manufactured using the same autoclave process found in MotoGP and Superbike paddocks. Each layer of carbon fibre is carefully laid and cured under controlled heat and pressure, producing a part that is measurably stiffer and lighter than injection-moulded plastic alternatives. The high-gloss clear coat not only looks exceptional under pit-lane lighting — it also adds a protective barrier over the weave, resisting minor contact marks and UV fading season after season.
Practical Protection for Road and Race Preparation
Tank protectors are among the most overlooked details on a track-prepared R6, yet the finish underneath is among the first to suffer. Whether you are sliding forward under hard braking at turn entry or simply mounting the bike in leathers, the CARY9990 pads sit precisely where contact occurs. The result is a tank surface that remains showroom-clean regardless of how hard the bike is being worked. On the road, the same logic applies — commute gear, casual clothing and everyday use can leave marks that are entirely preventable with the right components fitted from the start.
