Just throw'in this out...In an earlier thread titled "What should I do?" ,well I traded the 9s for a 12R..love it! but, you do lay alittle more on the "tank", I wasn't too happy with the choices of buckle guards. I came up with a clean solution by using protective film that auto makers use around wheelwells to help protect from rock chips...3M or TrimBrite make this clear film , once applied it is barely noticeable.A couple of tips, use soapy water to apply and use a rag to work the bubbles out and smooth out, also alittle heat from a hair dryer helps in making it easier to work with. | ||

Considered the same solution for my future saddle bag purchase. Wouldn't want them rubbing the finish off the bike! | ||

That film goes on real easy if you spray your plastic first with a foamy window cleaner (in Canada its called Bon Ami, but probably any foam type window cleaner should work). Then lay the plastic over the foam spray and use a small flexible rubber squeegee to push out the foam - always from the center out. No need to use heat. I also used this film on the frame spars just below and forward of the seat (both sides) to keep my knees from abrading the paint. Works like a damn and is hardly visible, plus you can clean any grime off the plastic with a good waxing. | ||
