I had one on my 02 Dyna, took it off before I sold it and will be putting it on my 08 UC before I start riding in the spring....wish I would have put it on last fall, chaps really make a mess of the part of the tank your legs come in contact with. I ran it for 6 years on the Dyna and never had a problem with scuffed paint, the only time I took it off was when I wash the bike.

 

removed my first one about 1983 9th grade not a fan of them.

 

One of the first things I got was a tank bra for
my 07'UC. I remember well what jeans &buckles did
to the tank on my 03' RKC. Looks ok & does the trick.
A fairing bra.....maybe for the looooong haul to Tim-buck-too.

 

If you use one with under wire it is a cheap tank lift.
