I only sell the stuff (I think) don't know how it works.

It's more of a nylon/plastic mesh than a foam.
Doesn't degrade in petrol.
Planes use it to reduce slosh.

It can make your bike feel a whole lot lighter as there's no slosh type momentum in corners/cornering.

Anyone out and about tomorrow ? I've got an appointment in NN at 10am so am going in via Maungatapu and home the same route early arvo

If its nylon/mesh and not foam, am I right in thinking that there is minimal loss of fuel capacity then?

what you worried about that for you only got a 12L tank....
Dave mate....

I think about 1%ish loss of fuel.
I have only ever once been a victim of slosh, but it would be interesting to see what actual difference it makes
may have to do a bit of product testing.
