    As I sit in the garage with a beer looking at "The Beast" waiting for Sept 1St my wish list gets longer... however I can't seem to find anything to protect the tank (apart from the strap) from scratches. Has anyone found a tank protector yet??? If not I may be forced to find some clear plastic to stick on which is less than good IMHO.
    Many thanks.

    Google motorcycle tank protector film , this gives you the option of as little or as much as you want, I guess you have the strip down the middle of the tank so you can fit it under it

    Thanks.
    I'll have a look at eBay and hunt for some film.
    Cheers

    Found some film in a local shop and on the third attempt made a "fair" job of it. Removed the strap and fitted two strips down each side, some slight specs under the plastic but good enough till someone makes a "proper" version of a tank protector. As I get older it's more about "function over fashion" so it it stops the tank scratching I am happy. May have a go at some side protectors tomorrow. tp1.jpg
