M50 tank Bra...help me choose - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

awilson40 · 11-08-2007, 09:20 PM

I have the purple 2007 M50 and have added the carbon frame inserts.
I have a few scratches that I only made worse by trying to polish out...must have had some grit in my polishing compound or rag

Any way...Looks like my best bet may be a tank bra but I cant decide on the carbon or the regular.
Anyone have any opinion or , better yet, close up pictures of either one on the purple bike ?
Thanks

You can go with a Carbon Fiber tank pad instead of a bra.

awilson40 · 11-09-2007, 05:48 AM

Good option and I like the look , but I would like something to protect the sides also.

Where did you get that ???

If you decide on the regular one let me know, I have a brand new one that I decided wouldn't look right on my limited.

Tank bra?

Doesn't look too limited to me.

It's suppose to be for sport bikes as you can tell by the way it's shaped. All I did was invert it so there is more protection on the bottom half.

Man....
I saw this after I ordered one

Thanks anyway

I tell ya , I just finished polishing the tank with 3M Finesse-it
and that stuff did the trick. It took out almost all the scratches and
its back to shining like new

Good to hear you got sorted, hope you don't mind if I follow up with one of the 2 sellers in the thread to see if they will sell to me instead

Thanks

I bought the tank bra from Don. However, the carbon fiber one from Dwnthehatch is still available.

Thanks
