If it was my bike i wouldnt put the tank bra on. Seen too many bikes with bunged up paint on the tank caused by the bra.

I have to agree with a couple of other postings.It will scratch your tank, has no real benefit and looks pretty lame. Burn the Bra!
On a more serious note. I agree. Unless your gut and belt buckle hangs on the tank....it will do more harm than good.

i knew i was asking for"it " when i posted, but hey who has more fun..... the hook was missing too, the rest makes logical sense, although not so sure about the dust underneath it ( scratching) . was worried about belt buckles, but sounds like we will trade that worry for worrying about dust and dirt under it doing the same thing, as always thanks for the input,,,,,

I replaced the Hook with velcro. Much easier to attach.

Be sure too that you put the elastic for the front into the "groove" under the tank toward to center.

I have to agree - burn the bra. I had one on another bike for a very brief time because I was conerned about scratches appearing on my tank (I believe from my belt buckle when I leaned into it to push it forward when it was shut off). I liked the looks, but in a very short time realized the bra was doing more damage than not having it. And the paint color was different under the bra. So - you might want to re-think the bra idea. Just my .02.
