Title: Scratch Protection.
Post by: Engraverwilliam on May 21, 2015, 04:22:00 PM

So, I wear knee/shin guards as part of my ATGATT regimen.
These.

Lately I've noticed fine scratches happening from the rivets on the guards.
I tried sticky pads on the rivets but they fall off rather quickly.

I looked into getting some pre-bought tank protectors but I just wasn't happy with the design and fitment.
Then it hit me. I'm an engraver/sign maker. I'll bet I could design something that would work and look great too. Without having to spend $50 bucks.

So check it out.

 8) Made from tactile ADA Applique' plastic. These pieces will not corrode or fade for like 5 years. And removal will only leave a small amount of adhesive wich disolve with mild orange oil spirits.

I wish I could sell this stuff I would make a fortune. I can make personal stuff from work bu they heavily frown on selling it.  :D

It looks good. Are you sure it was scratches and not some disease from parking near a BMW? :o

Very nice, I like the way they make your bike look.

Very well done indeed.... Perhaps you should consider selling these? In my opinion they look better than anything else I've seen fitted to the Concours....
