MCC Super Narrow Mod and Captain Itch
Got my seat back last week from having the Super Narrow mod done to my seat. Love the way it lowered me to give me a better footing. The only thing I don't like is how it now exposes the frame right by the tank. I ordered a Crotch Cooler from Captain Itch. It will cover the exposed frame back up, but it looks like it will rub the heck out of the side covers.
Does anybody have any other ideas on what to use to cover the frame up, or experience with the Crotch Cooler to give insight if it scratches the side cover? Thanks!

Thanks to all that responded. I will look into the tape covers, Carl. Just for piece of mind to avoid scuffs. Hopefully they can be removed if they ever need to be.
I did notice that the back of the Crotch Cooler is a softer material. Very well made. I haven't taken the time to install it yet, but it looks like a tight fit. Don't know about other bikes other than the Limited, but there are three cords on mine that go under the fuel tank trim that will make it a pain. I did plan on removing the stock heat shields but wanted to look at my options before I did.
The Kuryakyn mid frame chrome covers are they only other thing I can find to cover up the exposed area, but the reviews I have read of them on this site are hit and miss. Some say they look good, some say they are cheap looking. Would like to hear from anybody that had these currently on their ride.

He ask for the super narrow mod. It's not rocket science that if you narrow the seat it's probably going to expose something.

They look nice, but I don't know if I trust that.
