Tourmaster saddlebags

qg... I have used tanks bags since the early 70s on nearly every bike nearly every day. In the beginning they were strap on Eclipses or Bagmans. Since they have developed and improved the magnetic bags I no longer use the strap on bags ( my brother still does though). I don't really worry about about scratches and have scratched a couple tanks over the years.I do have some clear 3m on the top of the CBs tank but it was paranoia when I first got the bike and I haven't removed it, even though the rock chips in the front of the tank have made protecting the tank from damage a moot point. The thing is I run lots of miles on my bikes and in the end my bikes have little value due to mileage regardless of conditon, so I don't really worry about the physical appearance of my bikes, the minutia of details if you will. There is dirt on the front of the engine and on the pipes, the rims are dirty, there are bugs all over the front of the bike, the rock chips, there's probably rust up under the rear fender in spots. My bikes will never be mistaken as garage queens.

Whew long story lol. In the end if you are one of those who worry about things like hair line scratches or rock chips or bug guts ypu have to find a way to protect the bike or just not ride it. Honestly most people choose the latter. They would rather have a pristine motorcycle than the sheer joy of just riding the wheels off the thing. It's extremely hard to do both. Can be done but takes more effort than most people are willing to put forth.

Did I answer your question? Lol

Use, but don't abuse
