Marks on tank - why and what can I do about it?
Hi, just done 300 plus miles on my shiney Nebular Black SV and already there are white marks on the side of the tank where I have been holding with my knees.
 What do others use to stop this? Or is it just me hanging on too tight? Had a quick look on ebay and seen something called a StompGrip! anybody using these?

Re: Tank marks
Yeah you can buy pads for the side of the tank, also covers.
I've never had one but this is probably your best bet.  http://www.banditmaniashop.co.uk/sv6...bra-1131-p.asp |

Re: Tank marks
Clear film is the way to go mate, I had same problem on my black sprint, I bought a venture shield kit.
Make sure you polish it properly before putting it on tho as it will show the scratches if you don't. |
