Alright. I'm officially tired of all the scuff marks that are appearing on the bike's paint job (specifically the tank). I noticed how easily the black '05 gets marked up the first time I tried carrying something home from the grocery store between my legs about 6 months after I bought it. A simple 2-liter bottle of soda in a plastic bag left permanent marks on the rear of the tank that, needless to say, I was very unhappy with. I've been able to partially ignore it since then (several coats of scratch filler wax at all times help), however now I'm putting my foot down. I don't like noticing the smudges, scuffs, and scratches every time I get on my bike. Please understand that I don't abuse the paint job on the bike, or just attach abrasive cargo to the bare paint. Hell, I've wrapped a bath towel around cargo and still had it scuff. It just seems the clear coat is very prone to smudges and scuffs on for my year for some reason. Or maybe just my bike specifically. Who knows? I noticed it on the tank and the rear fender the most (it's especially bad under the pillion seat where the saddlebags rub, but that's to be expected). The rear fender is now nicely covered by the sissy bar and rear cargo rack, but that still leaves the tank. So I'm seriously looking into the tank bra or tank divider to mask the marks and help protect the pain job a little better. I know Suzuki sells a bra specifically for the M50, but what I'm really interested in is a divider. I've seen M50s with them, but I can't find a single manufacturer that sells one made to fit. I was wondering if anyone has a tank divider on his/her M50, and was willing to send me a link to the website where they purchased it from. I would be very grateful.
Ride safe
