Default New Bra
Got a new bra for my old girl. I noticed some small scratches on the tank from my leather jacket. No way will I get a new jacket so a bra was my next best thing. I was looking in the gallery and it looks like very few use a bra. How come? Is it un-cool?

I would definitly prefer scratches before using the cover in the picture. There are cooler covers, like the ones from Bagster.

I would agree with R1000, I've never been much for Bra's. I use a clear tank protector, it blends in pretty well with the color. Sand and grit can get caught under the edge of the bra and cause scratches anyway.

To be perfectly honest, the bra you bought doesnt seem to fit. This one came with the bike and couldnt fit more perfectly, so I left it on. It's a Lockhart Phillips.

I`ve never seen one in the uk!!!

The Bagster ones look close to standard though as they cover the whole tank and are colour matched!

I think it looks really tacky, I just make sure my jackets don't have buckles... but my bike is not pristene either so a few marks are nothing to worry about.

WTF-you guys are abruptly honest. I appreciate that. I took the bra back to Honda and exchanged it for a new set of grips.
Thanks for your input.

You should do what you want with your bike - I think the bra on mine looks good, that's the only opinion I care about.
