Fender bib. You can get a fairly cheap one from Mustang. But, if you want to go first class: www.franksleatherproducts.com

i use a black washcloth, got a new one then washed it about 5 times so it wasnt so stiff. i fold the sides under so its about 3/8" wider than the seat. it works pretty good...been doing it on my last 3 bikes.

I personally prefer the naked fender to the fender bib, but thats just MHO.
What I did was scuff the area around the scratch, and used Harley touch up paint, put a few coats to build up the area, then wet sanded until everything was flat and level with the rest of the paint, then I hand polished, and hand polished, and hand polished a little more until I got the same luster as the factory paiint. If I showed you where the scratch was you would have a very hard time to see anything that would give it away, I also did a stone chip on my fairing, and you can't see it, I can't even find it, and I know where it happened. I am not sure how bad your scratches are, but whats the worst that could happen, you have to use the fender bib to hide your attempt....just a thought...
