Nah, I don't mind it. At least it's not polished...

No, mint and clean are different, I want to stop it getting worn by luggage, knees, etc........

I know it is not crash protection

But it is cheaper than spraying and a lot easier to get back to standard.

So, a bit odd maybe, "silly" - no way......

Its a bit more expensive than tape. But do a google for some stuff called ventureshield and see if they do a kit for your bike. It'll look nicer than insulation tape.

Good idea, and I had already thought of it but 3 problems.

It is very expensive - approx £50

It is clear - I want to change the colour as well.

They do not do a specific one for my GSX (it is quite a rare model)

Yes I know I should have just bought a black one, but this one was too good to pass up and I was in a rush........

I like being "different" anyway
