3M Clear bra to protect tank

[Scoobynut_imp]

Scooby,
Thanks for doing this. I've been worried about the tank from day one. Is the template already scanned and and electronic form for distribution?
Also, do you have any plans for the side of the tank where the inner thigh possibly make contact?

Funny you ask, Ron, I just got back from a ride and noticed a few dull scuffs on the side where the knees of my pants were contacting the tank. I've already got the scuffs out, so clear bra material will get cut tonight and go on the sides. I may also cut some for the top of the tank as I like using a magnetic tank bag. I did the rear, the knee cutouts on the side, and the top of the tank of my Super Tenere and it really has saved the paint from a lot of damage. But that bike has a rougher life than this one will!

Well, I think there's enough interest to write the how-to, so I will get to work posting pics and the writeup tonight.

Hmmm, I never thought of scanning it like that; I guess the scale would be correct and I can always compare the scan to my original for size. I will save my templates from the knee cutouts on the tank too. They will be a little more difficult, but shouldn't be that hard on this bike the way the cutouts are nice and -- more or less -- flat.

Well I'm interested. My email is everett.mclendon@earthlink.net

I was even thinking of going to a place that installs it on cars, but this would be better.

No need to have someone do it, not on a bike -- my how-to should walk you through it.

Cars are a whole different matter; I've done several hoods and they turned out pretty damn nice, but talk about a lot of work and exertion. You actually have to stretch-to-fit one side of the hood once the other side is in place. It was worth saving $300-400 dollars, though.
