Spent the last 4 hours working on the Ducati
and before Shifty or PhilO say anything YES you told me so
After Saturday's high performance riding it was clear that my leathers were starting to scratch the petrol tank
So I purchased 2 x A4 3M plastic sheets, these were Honda packaged and priced at £9.99 each ( anything Honda is ruddy exspensive ).
Any ways when I complained about the price they said call it £15 for the pair
First job was to get some plain A4 paper and some cutting tools :
Then after a couple of attempts produce some templates, the trick here was trying to keep to the flat surfaces to avoid any possible creasing.
This sort of material will happily bend two ways but not three
Once your happy with your finished template, cut out the 3M sheets.
Note that I did intend to buy 3 sheets ( one of each side of the tank and one for the tail unit ) however they only had two. This meant optimizing the designs to the available material
I was also trying to avoid any corners or straight edges which might lift
The application method was very slow to ensure no bubbles or creases
Overall I'm well impressed with the results
I reshaped the off cut from the tail unit hump for the centre tank strip :
