Hello all, first post.
I just bought an FZ6 and promptly put a nasty deep scratch in the side of my tank the first day out! The pocket clip on my knife put a nasty gouge in the tank when I was pulling my bike out of the garage. I leaned the bike against my hip to get leverage and that was that. It's 3" long and all the way to the metal. (Note: carry your pocket knives in your back pocket!!!!)
I've since spent hours googling and ebaying, looking for a 1/2 tank bra to prevent any further mishaps. I did manage to find one for the R6, but I don't think an R6 tank is the same shape and size as the FZ6 tank.
Those little plastic stick-on tank protectors won't do. I need to cover the sides of my tank as well. The Mag-Knight covers seem to be the only thing available that fits the bill, but I refuse to spend $85 on one. Does anybody know where I can find one of the $30ish strap-on tank bras online?
