    Here's a simple and inexpensive option from JP Cycles: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/720-976

    I have used these on my last three Goldwings and like them because they actually are functional. They are thick enough that you can grip them with your knees. I have never had one come off, and I like that they are not so big they overpower the tank.

    Just be sure you have them exactly where you want them, because once they are down, they're staying down!

    Read lots of bad reviews on this stuff on several sites. Something about the quality of the material changing?

    That, I don't know. I've had mine for over a year, on the bike and have' had a problem. I did have to reapply the left side about 4 months ago but that was an easy process. For a little more money you can get the tank protector kit in 3M paint protector film.

    I have a 2012 GL1800. I've had these on since I purchased the motorcycle in Dec. 2011. As mentioned earlier I have had to re-apply. That has been the only negative I have found. The biggest advantage is that they are pre-cut to fit a specific model, and when installed properly they do not change the looks/lines of the bike.

    I ended up going with a product called Stomp Grip. They actually make a kit specific for the Goldwing/F6B not too bad priced at around 50 bucks. I went with the ultra clear, we'll see how it looks and works?
