I had one many years ago on my C10 but darned if I remember where I got it...  You may want to think of an alternate solution such as the stick on tank pads.

still on the fence as to either get a bra for the tank or the stick on knee pads. Never had them on any of my other bikes.

I have had this one since 2005, still looks like new, but unfortunately they list it as "STILL on backorder".   You could try calling them.

Think I have one, Kawasaki monogram. Yours for price of shipping, rounded up to the next fiver. Lemme check the dungeon when it's light.

May need to (will need to) replace the rubber bungie cord that wraps around and in front of the tank. Them cords, no mater the quality, only last a few years.

Stay tuned,

My experience was that the tank bra does more damage to the paint finish than riding without. Places that are prone to scuffing/hazing can be protected by 3M stone guard film.

Had one on my C-10 and I have one on my C-14. Keep them clean and wax underneath. I love them.

think I am going the way of the side mounted tank pads on this one.
The tank bra is tempting, but want to try these and see how they work out.

Thanks every one.
