Question about tank area protection. Never really cared about that with my GS (a GS without dirt is not a real GS), but with the now oh so beautiful San Marino Blue RT, i seem to start caring about looks more than about the inner values. Male symptom i suppose.
Anyhow.
My Enduristan Tank Bag (best made tank bags in the whole wide world, imo) seems to fit the RT fine, but it lies just on the tank area. Is that area prone to scratching? (A tank bag will shift on it, just by mounting/unmounting). Do you put something on the tank, for those of you who use tank bags regular? I am looking at different products, but i think that most of them remind me too much of Rhonda's moms living room in the Mary Tyler Moore show....
Tank/Paint protection
Re: Tank/Paint protection
When I got my bike last year one of the options I had fitted was Ventureshield Paint Protection. I had the full kit fitted but I'm sure you can get tank only and pannier only kits. Ventureshield is one of many companies providing clear film protection. The good part of the stuff is its totally removable and will protect paint without causing any damage. It is also virtually invisible.

+1 for Ventureshield. I have the full kit on my bike and it has saved the panniers in particular from numerous boot marks.

Re: Tank/Paint protection
Maybe my solution to scuffing tank I've tank bands on but noticed scuff marks maybe gripping tank to tightly.
