You can get it in various colours inc clear.

It's basically a thick sheet of plastic film (self adhesive). If you take your time, you can use a heat gun (be careful of the paint on the tank) to mold it to the shape of the tank - IE Go from one side across the rear of the tank and over the other side.

Otherwise, just cut a couple of pieces to fit the area where your legs go.

Ventureshield.
It's (fairly) easy to fit and is invisible when fitted..

You could try wearing a big baggy cardigan over your leathers. If it's long enough you can tuck it between your knees and the tank... instant anti-scratch protection :thumbsup:

I used a clear plastic film called Sharkskinz on mine - but it's not available now AFAIK
