One disappointing casualty of last month's trip to NC was a surprising amount of wear in the knee area of the "tank" bodywork. It appears the coated seams of my riding jeans were just abrasive enough to start rubbing through the clear coat and the paint is really scratched up on the left side and getting a little cloudy on the right side. Already I can tell that, even if it were possible to buff out the current damage, this is going to be a recurring problem.
Anybody find suitable tank pads yet? It seems something general-purpose like this may be the only current option. That or maybe mask off an area and spray with Plasti-Dip, which I think is a common approach for a lot of sport bike riders.
Thoughts? Mainly checking to see if anybody knows of a good product that my google search didn't turn up.
