New Farkle, Black Cherry Second Look Seat Skin

[rocketman]

I scratched the tank with the snap from my jacket liner. Hence my latest farkle. Burgundy tank skin, $90 from Second Look. Fits good. Looks great. I recommend it.

I have the full tank skin from Second Look in Carbon Fiber Vinyl. Fits great, looks great. $119.

I agree it does look like a perfect fit..

The problem is that it will work like a bra on a car..

It will protect the tank from the scratches which appears to be the main reason for these (rock chips on cars).

The unintentional side effect is that tiny specs of sand will get trapped between the 2.. tank and bra.. and the vibration will cause small scratches on the tank.

If you remove and wash them regulerly you might avoit that problem...

Maybe so with partial coverage covers, but my full coverage Bagster has preserved the tank's finish as new.

Also, take it off and let it dry if it gets wet. It can eventually discolor the paint if it continually dries while on the bike.

I have been waiting for the Blk/Cherry tank skins. Where did you purchase from? The Second-Look website still does not offer the Burgundy tank skin?

Nice lookin' piece of kit, ...it'll look even better once you get the seat upholstered to match!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Where can I get one of these bras? I have some small scratches that have shown up on my tank and would like to keep from getting anymore. Also where can I find some sliders?

They don't list the '07 color on their website. Call the 800 number abd I'm sure they'll help you out.

He's right.

I had a full coverage version of this 30 years ago (probably from another company though) and it did just what Vandy said.

If you get one, remove it regularly, wash and thoroughly rinse the cover, wash and wax the tank thoroughly.
