Gas Tank paint scratches

[Fast Willy]

I sit up against the gas tank on my 03 Lemans. The paint is getting small scratches from my leathers. Other than polishing the paint, any suggestions on prevention? Are there after market leather bras type gismos available? I like to keep my bike mint.

Go to www.thetankslapper.com they have a kit for your lemans. Also, I have asked them to make one for the tank bag. They said they would work on it.

I know this does not help, but the factory paint on my 2000 V11 has a very thin coat, more like a film of paint than a coat.

And because of this when you get a scratch it can not be polished out.

er and as Rocketman suggests the tankslapper is excellent, I have this applied to my tank.
