By covers i mean the part of the frame where your knees will be when sat on the bike, ie something to stop the paint rubbing off the frame or wearing thin. I know on more modern bikes i have seen carbon (ish) covers which go over the whole frame from the swingarm up to the front cowl. Any body use anything like this to stop any rubbing ?

 

Never seen this as a problem on a 954. My 954 has near 30k miles on it and the frame looks perfect. No rub marks anywhere.

 

Oh, i guess it could affected by how tall a person is or how long their legs are... or more likely just how they ride, i have seen on some bikes in the uk this happen.

 

More likely to be caused by the type of clothing/gear you wear.

 

Guys use them on the BMW s1000rr but its not for rubbing. Most guys use them cause the frame heats up sometim fierce
