Guest aj howard Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I scuffed the clearcoat on the tail section of the Rosso, I was thinking of getting some of that clear plastic that people put on tanks of sport bikes to save the paint from getting rubbed by jackets. Has anyone tried this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Some of the demo bikes at MPH have this stuff on 'em( see attached pic ) & it works real good fellar. In Tx most people wear them big cowboy belt buckles & they screw up the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well, that's true TX, but Jaap's also right. If you cover the bike with a soft cloth, you can prevent scratches from the buckles and the spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 more evidence as to why the buffalos in merika are so distressed. Can't you guys lay off these creatures? Just eat them and leave it at that. says me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stewart Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I have used a set of teckno bags on my V11 Sport for years. They do fit nicely to the frame and seem to work well as long as it does not rain. Yes, the bags are lined but water will find it's way in through all the seams. I also had a problem with one mount cracking in the middle of nowhere. The bags expand outward, but I never wanted to expand them since I did not want a wider rig. I have gone on a weeks ride two up with these bags and tank bag, but it is tight. I suggest going to the Hepco & Becker bags. Water proof, strong rack, holds twice as much and cost at least three times as much . Oh, yeah, a tank bag is a must, besides being expandable, it can also be used to lay on to relieve the pressure of the wrists. Makes those longer days on the road more enjoyable .

tomsp Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 Martin- that's what I'm talking about Those Tekno bags are what I want. I know I'll only use them 4-5 times a year (and the tank bag the rest) but they have that sleek look plus, like you said, I can tie my tent to them! Yep -- good thing. Thanks too Mike on the input (to me and all else looking at these things!) Belfastguzzi? Is that really you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
