Default Tank Covers?

Anyone use one of these? Do they scratch the tank at all? Thanks.

See them all the time...never used one.......I don't think it will scratch but make sure no water gets in there b/c it can change the paint (that will happen if it's left out in the sun too) and create mildew. I knew someone who had the Bra on their car and after a while the paint was fresher looking under the bra as opposed to the hood of the car.

I used one for three years on my Hayabusa , no scratches at all when I removed it to install a clear film called a Tank slapper. 20 bucks, it's removable as many times as you want for waxing etc. and you cant see it on the bike, I would never use any thing but a tank slapper from now on.

In case your interested

I personally am not to fond of them. I had one on my first F2. it discolored the paint, and it took away the over-all look of the bike. hiding the colors on the tank. All-in-all its personall prefference
