The new Shite bag arrived -

Does the paint on the petrol tank get damaged by the gaucho moving about? Initially I thought the fluffy liner would be against the tank, but the instructions say to fold, so that the outer material is against the tank. Vinyl self adhesive has been supplied asumedly to protect the tank, but not quite sure how far up the tank to go. OK short of the filler cap would do for starters:blast So it would need to be fitted before knowing where to put the vinyl. I'm just concerned as I don't want to ruin the paintwork:thedummy

Mine was fitted all last winter and the only mark was a slight smudge on the sticker by the filler and a small amount of paint rubbed off the frame where the front strap located.

However I feel I was lucky that the paint on the tank stayed unmarked, I would, if i was worried, maybe tape the top of the tank in the contact areas, just to make sure all was fine.

Shep
