Tank Protection

Hi,
My shiny black 2012 is starting to show scuff marks on the tank caused by my knees gripping the tank (when I may have overcooked it!).
Whats the most unobtrusive protector you can get? Alternatively is there something you put on your leathers?

 

Techspec gripster are very unobtrusive.

That looks very cool. You also have ASV levers with black adjusters (did you buy them seperatly, the adjuster I mean).

 

I did yes

 

Techspec on mine too!

 

I've got defendall on mine and had it in since new. Black paint suffered badly on the 04 and 05 blades and not had a problem wi mine. You can still polish it up as well if you want.

 

Looks cool- or clear venture shield as another option, if you don't want to buy the kit various firms sell the film in rolls that you can cut to shape.

 

Once fitting any of these options if you want to take them off do they come off ok without damaging the paint?

 

I've never had an issue, use a hair dryer to warm the glue and peel off.

 

Certainly. A little heat from a hairdryer makes it much, much easier.
