Bought new Klim air pants and now my tank is scuffed. Is there anyone selling tank covers for theF6B?

Make Klim pay for it. Gawd knows you probably put one of their kids through college, for the retail price of those pants.

On the Duluth Trading 5 pocket fire hose jeans for $59.50 and are probably more durable then those big money pants and they wouldn't have scuff his tank, since they are just heavy cotton.Make Klim pay for it.

I do have a pair of Dragg'n Jeans (in black) but it have been contemplating those Duluth fire hose pants me self .
Not to hi-jack this thread (my apologies to the O.P.) I do understand from Stevenoltes other post about how he wants to have a "one design fits all" solution in protective clothing (and he may have found it for himself) but I'd get rather stinky wearing the same suit all of the time.... not to mention the accelerated wear of the same suit all of the time.
I think Wingstuff has gas tank adhesive "grippers" for the sides of the F6B's plastics that surround the gas tank.

Look up techspec tank grip pads on line. I installed a set that cover the sides and top of my tank under the gas fill. I also added them to the top of my saddle bags. I like to steer with my legs and often apply pressure on my tank and scuff my tank. These work great and add to the mean look, if you have the faster black color, as I do.
Get them placed correctly the first try, like with most stick on pads. Enjoy the pucker moment, right before you stick em on.
Just curious, are the Duluth jeans extra long to cover boots when sitting on the bike? I'm tired of so called motorcycle pants (Bilt comes to mind) that are constantly inching up past my boots.

They are Honda Racing ones, link: http://www.motosport.com/honda-genui...iber-knee-pads
I think they make the bike look great , true carbon fiber and it actually says Honda Racing on them:

What I would try:
1st try polishing out the scuff, then try some sort of vinyl wrap that you could custom cut for that area.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on this . I have ordered a pair of Triumph tank knee pads. Will see how they work out!
