Default Jeans & chaps scuffing paint on sides of tank

Is there anything you can get to save the paint on the sides on the gas tank besides the tank bra?

I plan on ordering the floorboards extentions had them on my RK and really liked them. I'll look into the clear film also. Thanks!

I like the idea of the film. I have wanted to try it on my side covers and front of bags because if my rider wears her chaps it takes way too much time to buff them out in the spring once chaps are put away. Just not sure on th elook but I think it would be better than scratches. Tank is not a problem for me really.

go to autozone and get a roll of windown tint. A roll is around 12 bucks cut the size and shape you need. Its on a curve so some trimming is need and a slice down the center without going all the way threw. Just spray some water mist and place on and good to go. I never had any trouble with it coming off, and I have several already precut. When you want to take it off just peel it off.
